The Deceptive Friend.



Peer pressure
A force that can’t be resisted
A force that we all adapt to
A force that can’t be escaped
A force that has strong influences.

It then goes out into the good and kind world
And lay abode in there and spreads all over
full of desires, the people accommodate it
Without fore sighting the danger ahead.

They all sing “we want it, we love it” in unison
Day and night as times goes by, the FORCE IS BEING ENJOYED until
It changes to negativity
And the world starts agonizing varieties of regrets
Singing the “had I known and the how I which

The force never cared but continued its deceptive manners
PEER PRESSURE!!!
