Someone to Encourage, Someone to Discipline

You need someone to discipline

So you could learn right from wrong

You need someone to encourage

So you could learn to be strong

You need someone to discipline

So you could learn regret

You need someone to encourage

So you could cherish what you get

You need someone to discipline

They could someday be your phobia

You need someone to encourage

Even if that moment is euphoria

You need someone to discipline

Their lies are pressuring

You need someone to encourage

Their lies are discomforting

You need someone to discipline

They plan your definite future

You need someone to encourage

They teach you to be mature

You need someone to discipline

They say it’s good for you

You need someone to encourage

They ask what’s good for you

You need someone to discipline

To be the top of the pure-bred

You need someone to encourage

To make sure you’re well-fed

You need someone to discipline

Only they teach you how to gain

You need someone to encourage

Only they teach you to be sane

You need someone to discipline

But it’s funny, and it’s lame

You need someone to encourage

These two people could be the same.
