#trendsetter
A bright idea illuminates your mind "I'll do it when I get the time" Is what you say when you defend Your busy schedule of tasks you resent Your tasty theoretical lemonade Made from the lemons that came your way Would quench your thirst for success If you would only take a rest Is it healthy for you to be stuck In the 9 to 5 generational curse? Working hard to make a living When that living can be unforgiving Nothing's too hard or impossible Baby steps, no need to stress When to you the path is visible You just need to do your best The fear you harbor in your heart Is not because of your limit But it's because of someone else's goals - You're afraid that you won't reach it. Your template is your latest high score No them, just you versus you on the floor If you fall you'll get up, that's the spirit All you need now is to just DO IT! Refuse to make the same excuses For not making the relevant changes Because your kids won't inherit jobs But they copy your mindset when you beat the odds

Do It
I can't tell you how sick I am of the mean and snarky comments going on here, Why does it even happen when we all have the same fear? Being mistreated for who we are In our minds possibly having a scar That no one knows about but we all keep hidden. Joke like all of our bad emotions aren't there, so hopefully they will soon be ridden. Why make people suffer for us? When we have people here to talk, to discuss. We hurt people to make us feel better? What are you trying to do, become a trendsetter? Sorry to break it to you, but it doesn't work like that. Calling that girl you see over there fat, What kind of person are you being? A mean Rude And Ignorant Human being. Be accepting of anyone here Because they might share the same fear Bullying and name calling needs to stop Without it, you might actually wind up on top Become friends with someone who sits by themselves, Because no one wants them, so they are stored on the very top of an empty book shelf. Check that book out of the library to make it feel better, Because then, you are becoming the right trendsetter.

Trendsetter
Each day another person tags along We say there's nothing we do wrong We know they don't sing their own song We go on a journey that's lifelong Today's society just follows a crowd If that's what you wanna be don't think you'll be proud How do you expect to win when you're behind someone else's lead You might as well put that dream in the bin you're basically joining the same breed Take a stand walk on your own paths Release yourself from the band open up your own straths Make the decision don't become a borrower You can see the vision when you're not a follower
