 BEHIND THE HOOD

Written at 16 years old


Peers bring pressure if unreal
The show you can steal
Be the leader
Don't be the bleeder

You can make you choice
You have a voice
Speak up
Don't be the lost pup

If you don't want to smoke
Don't watch your health go up in smoke
If you don't want to drink
You don't have to sink

Be strong
To say no is not wrong

If you don't want drugs
Find friends who don't give the shrugs
When you say no
Walk away and go with the flow

If they blow
You're not alone so speak up and watch your face glow

Some may follow and you've done great
Others may not, but you made a difference and been a good mate

Just by showing a little courage
You have the power to encourage
The good
Don't hide behind a hood
You'll soon see it aint any good
