Someone's Purpose

If I dare speak the truth they will disown me 
For my family doesn’t support 
Nor will they love
I believe my purpose is to help people 
But I don’t know how 
For the purpose of others is around me 
Telling me how to live my life
It’s horrible, it’s miserable I say
For I do one thing it becomes pain on another person 
I wish I could just be free
Where I didn’t care about the person sitting in front of me 
Where I could drive and not be scared of death 
Where I could choose and I wouldn’t be judge 
Where I can decide for myself, my life 
Just once where I know I will be happy
Instead of living for others happiness
It’s all about money they say
No money you are a loser 
And enemy to all 
A homeless person depending on others
We gave up all for u 
Our lands, families and our bodies
It is as if I am on debt to people 
When can I finally say I am happy? 
When can I finally say I will be free?
For I was created by god right?
But even he has left me alone to decide 
If only I could do this or that or... wait never mind 
I will always and forever be known as the girl who couldn’t 
The girl who didn’t 
And the girl who wasn’t 
I can’t decide
It’s already decided for me
