Who is good for us and who isn't? Who improves us and who doesn't? It's up to us to choose, though it is tough  Who we want by our sides, when life gets rough  Friendships are a dime a dozen, that's a fact  And everyone claims that they have your back As we get older, everything changes  Even best friends, can end up strangers  But it's up to us, it's our call to make Even if the decision is or ends up a mistake  And though looking out for ourselves is a must It is important to know who we can trust  Because we all fester about who will be there, And sometimes we're blind to people who really care  Communication is another essential  Because a lack of it, can be a defining differential  We can a do lot by just reaching out to each other  And resolve any issues we have with one another  If we accept our faults, we can progress more  As human beings we have to, in order to grow  It’s easy to blame others for our shortcomings But it’s healthier to confront, and

We’re all driven by our emotions By how we feel, in any situation We're built for both joy and pain Even if it drives us all insane It's the way of the world we live in Even if sometimes it feels like a prison That's human nature, how it's meant to be We feel everything we touch, hear and see Love, happiness, pain, and sadness Stress, frustration, anger, and madness Our emotions can break us or keep us intact Because they always determine how we react Our reactions are based on what we feel And sometimes it clouds fake from real Emotions also define how we see others And sometimes dictates how we treat one another They can unite and separate people And give us strength or make us feeble We're born with free will to make our own choices And we have a right to use our own voices But our voices aren't always strong Because sometimes they can steer us wrong So think about the feelings, each and every day Because in reality, our emotions can lead us astray

Everyone has something to say About the things, we do every day Everyone’s entitled to use their voice Whether we listen or not, is our choice People always try to cut us down But it’s up to us to swim or drown Like actions, even words can hurt Where it comes from, defines its worth Sometimes unexpected stones are cast And it’s clear some things aren’t meant to last But how important are the voices we hear? How much does it hurt when the truth is clear? Don't listen to irrational and idle chatter Think about whose opinion really matters If it questions the foundations of loyalty and trust Then weighing the pros and cons is a must So before all of it gets in your head Just ask yourself, who said?
