My Choice
They say to be true to yourself
They say you're so beautiful
They say you're so bright
"Just be you"....
But you know it's just how they tell you what you're expected to be.
They say it with a dash of don't disappoint us
With a hint of be better
And a pinch of try harder in their tone
I'm supposed to be a smart, pretty and well behaved young woman
But I'm tired of the confusing orders
I'm putting an end to this ongoing war
These words are my treaty
No line to sign
No agreement or compromise
Just read and try to understand
I'm sorry to let you down
But I don't plan on living in the chains of your desires anymore
I'm breaking free
To find my own dreams
And to grasp someone's hand
And chase them together
