Wrong from Right

Author's Note:
This poem was inspired by T.I.'s album Paper Trail and I would like comments.

Everyday we hear the news

Of some famous kid in prison

But that's the only part we hear

We never really care to listen

We think just because they're famous

You'd want to be them, yourselves

But I'll tell you they're not perfect

And neither's anybody else

We build them up to be these idols

That nobody can live up to

We think their lives are games

And losing's all they do

We never stop to notice

How much pressure they'd be under

We never take a moment

Just to stop and think or wonder

All we do is assume

Who and what they ought to be

We wish they did all the good

That you may see, in you and me

But, like I said before

Nobody's really perfect

And since they're in the spotlights

They might tend to get nervous

And all these stories in the papers

All the things that blind our eyesight

All the we've ever said, until they can't see

What's wrong from right
