Analysis of The Truth



You may judge me as naïve because I am young.
You may think the only thing on my mind is money, ***, and tongue.
But oh no, the fact of the matter is way deeper.
I'm gonna preach to you even though I'm not a preacher.
But I deleted the trash and keeping the class.
And I will keep it calm so you don't feel I'm harassing you,
or pressuring you to open up your mind.
But if you gave me a second, minute, or hour of your time.
I could let you know the things that you may not expect.
And maybe after this I will actually have your respect.
Your attention your mind set on the idea of peace.
Reminding eachother we only need to accomplish one thing.
It stands for love peace and harmony.
No matter sexual orientation, race, or religion you see.
I may be fourteen and you may take me as a joke.
But this won't have an affect on me or cause me to choke.
On my words and I will continue to be heard.
And I will use my wings to fly like an eagle or a bird.
