Un-named 1



 Im not an english teacher, actually far from it.
I am merely a Literate, and somewhat of a poet
You see life is more than beers and weed
talking like you're "ghetto," and playing C-o-D
I take part in the 90% of life that gets wasted
by teenagers who only want to "party" and get wasted
i dont talk like an Illiterate, for i find it absurd 
Its time we stepped away from that phase, and have our youths be cured
life is a "party" dont get me wrong
but you make the party dull by only drinking and smoking
acting all tough, when youre the farthest thing from strong
weak in standards
weak in sight
acting; calling yourselves BAMFs
Realize this this I am your Sheppard and you are my Lambs
I may not lead you through the valley of shadows and doubt
but i can help you fear no evil
fear no evil of society and peers
need not waste away your youthful years
i can lead you down a path 
a road few follow
it may not be popular, but thats a part of the process
doing things for yourself, not to be mainstream, or please the populace
Follow me, im your friend
 your teammate, 
your coach
in fact I am your teacher
your guide
Let me in, and follow me and i will remain at your side

  1. You could use faded instead of wasted twice.

  2. And being mainstream is only bad if the reason you are is just to be in the "in" crowd. You seem to touch on that with saying "doing things for yourself"

  3. I must say that this line was extremely good:"I may not lead you through the valley of shadows and doubt/but i can help you fear no evil"

  4. im using wasted in a double context
    the first is normal context where 'wasted' is its actual meaning
    the second is referring to drinking and 'wasted' is meant getting drunk
    it was an attempt to emphasize that those who to go out and get 'wasted' are doing just that, wasting their lives away
