The Drag People
Are present everywhere you go.
Stop being so surprised
They are people that you know.
They drag your name down
Penetrating on your mind.
They tear at your spirit
But they seem to do just fine.
They nag and talk at you
Breathing negatives on your health.
Until they blurringly convince you
You don't know how to help yourself.
They will persecute you
Until you're six feet underground.
So release and let them go
And decline to wear a frown.
Because of your good nature
It seems so wrong to do.
They will distroy your integrity
Nothing will be left of you.
So keep your head held up high
And be the best at all you can.
Don't think about the dragging toxics
Nor the pressures of their demands.
Life will make them realize
The way they chose to do.
Is their descisions for themselves
It just wasn't meant for you.
I don't doubt they love you
I don't doubt they care.
But your reality says progress
While others refuse to dare.
