They Say

The grass always greener on the other side. Or at least that's what's always said. But when I tried to take a peak at the other side, there was nothing but mud and flies. Take the time to stop and smell the flowers. Or at least that's what I'm always told. But when I took a sniff, they were unpleasantly sour. The early bird gets the worm, or at least that's what I hear. But even when I rise before the sunrise, they all have disappeared. To my dismay, things aren't always as "they say." That's why I find it's necessary to take the time to investigate matters for your self. Can't live your life based on the words of someone else.
