Supposed To Be

When opinions become truth And beliefs become laws We all become victims Of what we're 'supposed' to be When we're told what to think And how we should react Our growth comes to a halt And off our path we stray Negativity permeates our heart And no longer do we strive for greatness We feel limited in what we can achieve And attribute other's success to luck Strive for self-discovery In this world of pre-determination Together we must break these chains Or else fall prey to our facades
