What They Say
"You're getting taller. You're getting stronger,"
these were the words that I heard
"You're getting better. You're getting smarter,"
rest assured they swarmed my thoughts like birds
They'd say things that really made me think,
am i moving too fast and did it differ from my past
People tend to cling to the idea that others were made to sink
but i am different from my class; i was built to last
By the time they realized, They'd listened to real lies
when my time came the difference between us was a shame
Others had tried to fix when how they will revise
yet my brain can't develop like theirs equally or the same
Transformations take place for everyone at a different pace
when i learned this is when my change hit
It happens when you face yourself and state
"i'm changing and i'm okay with it; i'm no longer a kid"
Once I did I no longer felt weak. Once I did I would loudly speak!
You can't lose your way after you see this day
You nor I can't let life hit it's peak especially since life's a big creek
Drifting off into so many pathways, So don't let the rocks that block you be What They Say.
