This ones for the wanna bees. For the wanna bees, and the pretenders. This is for the girls, who kiss a lot of boys, hoping for a glimpse of some love and attention. This is for the freshman boys scared to change in the locker room. This is for every single one of my friends.. Stand up. This is for the people who HAD a dream. This is for the boys who drink to avoid their problems, and please their friends. This is for the girls with perfect mothers. This ones for the 24 year olds with high school girlfriends. This is for the 27 year old ex quarter backs that still go to their ex high school games. This is for the read-heads. This one's for the rich kids who buy everyones lunch. This ones for the girl who wears fake true religions. This one's for the kids in AP classes. This one's for the anorexics. This is for the girl who never got asked to a boy's choice dance. This one's for the girls who show cleavage, and the boys who pretend to like it. This one's for the lovers who's love, is loving someone else. This one's for the pretenders..
Stand up.
Stand up for what you believe in. Stand up and be who you are. Stop living life how someone else wants or expects you to live it. There's always gonna be someone you feel like is better than you. But spending life wishing you were someone else is a waste of time. Learn to appreciate yourself, and look for all the good qualities you do have, the things you do like about yourself, and focus on those. You'll never be someone else. You'll never be successful giving up your dreams. You'll never impress anyone by following the crowd. You'll never escape your problems by hiding from them temporarily.
You'll never be happy pretending.
So, Stand up.
i really like this piece, especially when you explain what stand up means. my favorite line is "you'll never be happy pretending" cause it's so true.
ReplyDeleteI think your writing is excellent
i really liked this piece. i don't know if some of this was on purpose but you had some misspelled words that made me think more about them. like "wanna bees" and "read-heads". i think that wanna bees would be the people who are really popular but wanna be so they kinda run around gettin in everyones business, like a bee flies around gettin in everyones flowers. and the read-heads are the kids who instead of talkin to other people at lunch they go to some remote hallway and sit down to read.
