Choice

Do you feel....
Like... the child you were before is laughing at you 
you are not betraying anyone else but you
Like.... by making you do what you don't want to life is taking a vengeance
but your heart don't have a voice to speak all that pain that needs to be mentioned 
Like.... you want to take risk but you're too afraid of your parents and you keep listening to what they have to say 
Like... instead of being your strength they try to come in your way 
Like.... you care too much about what others think about you so far...
Like.... you aren't you yet...you are what you think - they think - you are 
Like instead of listening to your own calling you give importance to everyone else's voice 
Like you are just living a lie 
Like you have no other choice

I believe you have described everyone in this poem, because I know I have been there, and I think millions of other people have also. I know when I started being the "real" me I was a lot happier, in spite of other's protests, which were loud.

I learnt this lesson at a very young age. And i still get hated for being real. But you know the secret is? I don't even care.
