That's What They Said
What I've been
Told makes
Me wonder
If anything
I thought
Was right
Had my own
Ambitions
My own
Expectations
And now they
Seem so far
What I've been
Told makes
This logic
I never
Had hard
To comprehend
Had my own
Sights
My own
Heights
To reach
But no one did
What I've been
Told is nothing
In terms
Of my life
I can't listen
And pretend
Have my own
Thoughts
That can't be
Bought
Or changed
Despite what's said
