Emperors New Clothes Syndrome

How often are we led

Or manipulated to see others views

Convinced to go along with things

That we wouldn't ordinarily choose

We need to take responsibility

For the life in which we all live

Ask more questions when things don't seem to fit

I could wax lyrical about everything we perceive

But the truth is

When you don't buy into what it is they sell

Then just walk away and leave

Rather than following other people's dreams.
