Peer pressure is just a line which divides strong from weak.
Don’t be impacted and fall in the deep where you do not speak.
Becoming a empty shell on the ocean floor any crab can grab you,
then throw you back down but believe me, you are able
to sprout your own limbs, arms, legs and mind.
Deny nature! Be unique – no other kind.
You don’t have to smoke, drink, or do crimes.
BE YOU, the shell who came alive.
BE TRUE, put judgement on to the lies.
Uncloak evil when its creeping in disguise;
in the alley of deception with unholy eyes.
Look in the mirror and yourself, you are perfect –
but still be humble to others. Let them nourish.
This is for every shell ready to climb over peer pressure’s steps.
RISE HIGH, shells don’t sink down to the shadowy depths.
Joy is just a journey, your destination will be met…
