They tell me I should

Start thinking about serious things

That the world won’t wait for me

And it will pass me by and live me forgotten

By the sideways of life.

They want the best for me

To make me succeed

In their shadows and expectations

Fulfilling dreams that are not mine.

They make me go out and fight

Everyday, so I can gain more and more

Wishing only to lay down and quietly

Discover another whole world.

They would do anything for me,

Or so they say,

Then why wont they

Let me be me?!?!

So I stay awake at night

Endlessly pouring my soul in words

Waiting, not knowing for what

Maybe just for someone

Who’ll rejoice in me

 For what

 I am.
