I clutch the heart on my sleeve
and look away from my insecurities
the voices all around me
do it, do it
I know its wrong
Would I bend my faith
to please the ever judging eyes
of the ones I call my friends?
I clutch the cross around my neck
and look straight into the eyes of peer pressure
their gleam attracting me
I tear away from their gaze
as I try to cling to my Saviour's side
then a victory smile
spreads across my lips
as the eyes watch me
walk away.
