Thoughts Unspoken

Speak your mind
You're opinionated

Tow the line
You're bought and sold

What is it all for
If nothing changes
And you just grow old?

Did you give up your dreams
At the expense of the norm?

You say that you're happy now
But your mirror no longer reflects

Now your contentment lies
In what society tells you to expect

No longer acting on what you feel is right
You've lost the battle
Without even putting up a fight
