Please Let Me Be
What do I appear to you
A shiny doll with no aims
A life that has seen no pains _
You think you know me
Very few are the ones that understand me_
I ask thee for MY LIFE to live
Do away with the societal norms and the cliff_
One day will come when all this will be over
I wanna be among the ones who says - Man this was worth the rover_
I feel strangled by your over protective norm
Like I have already wasted the quarter of this life form_
One way you say you understand
Unfortunately what expressed was just your controlling hand_
The laughs that you make, the examples you pose
Are the taunts that PIERCE deep like a watering hose_
Every passing day seems a waste
What did I live all this while was just a haste_
Friends I have/had are the ones I can call Mine
You disapprove of even them framing malign_
I don’t think I can live “how YOU expect”
My LIMITS are overpowering this EXTENDING conflict_
Fear gropes me thinking about the next day
A feisty dark shadow consumes the benevolence away_
I don’t want to pretend I don’t want to sway
Before I have the next generation to my array_
LET ME BE -- PLEASE LET ME BE
I am not you neither I want to be
With my phantoms of self-discovery, of improvement and foul-play I seek to
survive
It gets too hard I try to be alive_
CHOKED is the feeling I get everytime with thee
Spread my wings and fly, I wanna be responsible for my own rupee.
