Peer Pressure

Its not somethin you read about in books

Its bigger meaner and a lot worser than it looks

You often don't recogonize

The simplest forms of this

cause the pressure's almost always disguised.

"Go on. Take a smoke"

Thats not peer pressure

We're not dumb enough to dope

"Cancel plans with your mom

Go with us instead"

A Seemingly insignificant sentence.

But darlings, thats peer pressure

'Talk to her or hang out with us'

We're given the choice

we still don't know who to trust

Friends or family?

The decision's impossible.

But thats what we're expected to make.

Now tell me

Why are we quiet about this

Almost making it seem like its acceptable

"Forget that look,

you look bad.

Don't bother us with your poems

They're always about when you feel sad"

That may not be sentences from our friends

But its pressure anyway

Cause our talents are supprsesed

Our dreams are pulled away
