They tell you all your life, don't talk to strangers.
Yet they make you grow up and meet them.

Person by person, individually, strangers don't seem so bad,
Not as bad as the ones we know, within.

Sure they are dangerous, mean, and scary,
But truly who makes them appear that way.

Strangers make us, they shape us, they create us.
They show us who we want to be like, and who to steer our selves away from.

They tell you all your life, don't talk to strangers.
