Yen of Greatness

Take away what I love 
Only to give me "better"
And watch me live in misery forever.
Finding new realities
Embracing new things
It's like I have a voice
But I don't choose the songs I sing
If it were up to me
It wouldn't be so hard to be
It shouldn't be so hard to see
I have my own life
But this isn't who I wanted to be
I'm free to a certain degree.
