Why
Why
Why do people tell me what to do?
You have to do this
You're not allowed to do that
Censor what you say
You may offend someone somewhere
Personally, I don't care if I do
Act the same as the norm
Normal is a boring state to be in
I pride myself in being different
Saying yes when everyone says no
Turning right instead of left
Looking up when I am supposed to look down
Who makes the rules people live by?
One time I would like to meet “they”
Even education tried to ruin me
Imagination was wrong
They said that Snow White wasn't real
I think that she was real in her time
We are part of her fairy tales
I will never change my feelings
I will never accept whatever they say
I will take their reality
Discard it
Replace it with my own
I will make my own choices
I will have my own own thoughts
If that upsets them I have just one thing to say
You can just shove it!
