United we stand
Divided we fall
Yet around every corner
Someone holds your hand
On the first few blocks
Then throws you to the wolves
On the last two
Expecting your ideals
To measure up
To the person who it will matter to
When you're after your dream
Why is it relevant anymore
This political game of chess
We play with lives and the future
It's only human to step
On your **** once in a while
And trip over your *****
But I don't need your criticism
Or enlighten expectations
Demanding me to be better
Then the next person
We're all chasing different dreams
Fighting for a world
We all see differently
With overlapping points
That seem to disagree with another's
I've never seen a perfect person
Glorious in presence, mind, and soul
I've seen only failures
That aim to be better then before
Or giving up because that's all they know
Don't force your ideals
We all have the same goal
Survive and make life easier
For the seeds we plant
To help the planet flourish
