Judging Eyes

Judging Eyes If I were to please, To make them content, I’d give up my dreams, Completely relent. They don’t understand Nor can recognize. Only what they see, Is that I defy. In their judging eyes, I can’t make it right. For I don’t give in, I put up a fight. Though honest I am, They will not accept, The choice that I’ve made, With faith I have leapt. Would it have eased, Their pain had I lied. To put truth aside I could have denied. Unhappy I’d be, If I did create, Their ideal life, To just reinstate. I’m told what to do, Opinions they force. I only object, Devoid of remorse. My goals and dreams, They have not a clue. Even if they did, They’d still disapprove. Criticism does In my head resound. I try to ignore, To not be drawn down. I leave without blessing, Translation: disgrace. My love I pursue, As my dreams I chase.
