Consider this We tell ourselves to live in the moment But we are afraid of change We tell others to follow their dreams But snicker and tease when they do We promise to do good tomorrow But never think about it Unless we receive as well We set standards of normalcy But tell others to be different Or be unique And outcast them When they become too unique We are scared of changed Or of being different We are scared of stereotypes And labels But never do anything to change them Consider this

Stop and Think
Consider this We tell ourselves to live in the moment But we are afraid of change We tell others to follow their dreams But snicker and tease when they do We promise to do good tomorrow But never think about it Unless we receive as well We set standards of normalcy But tell others to be different Or be unique And outcast them When they become too unique We are scared of changed Or of being different We are scared of stereotypes And labels But never do anything to change them Consider this
Good things come from late night writing.
