All day as I walk around town
Around school
Around life
All I breathe in is hate and anger

It rolls around in my lungs
And chokes me violently just
Like when I tried smoking with my
Cousins who told me they hated the addiction

And honestly, I don't want that
So I exhale love because
I can't continue to add pain to
This world that is bleeding with a need

We need to be focusing more on
Building each other, not taking us down
And we need to acknowledge that our
Self health is only as healthy as the things we say

Our words are reflections of
How we view ourselves
We need to remember that it okay to
Walk away and put ourselves first sometimes

We cannot please everyone
Nor can we save the entire world
But oh my ****
If we can't try by way of love
