Am I ungrateful just because I don’t want to play dress up
while I wait for my Prince Charming to come?
We let them say what is beautiful,
while suffering in silence.
Why do I have to make myself fit
into their perfectly laid out plan
that I had nothing to do with?
All I’m asking for is a chance to
live my life the way I want.
Being able to make my own choices.
That would go against everything they say is right,
we can’t have someone be different now can we?
Some say I’m crazy when they read what I write
and keep their distance from me.
Others think I’m a genius.
Maybe, I’m brave because I don’t want to just “fit in”.
In the end you will see that all of the rush
to keep up wasn’t worth what you lost along the way.
We let others take away the best of us
and leave behind a broken shell.
They pick apart your mind and drag out
all those nasty little thoughts and say they’re bad.
What they won’t tell you is that they have them too.
In this world that is always changing,
sanity is a full-time job.
Everyone is tripping while keeping up
with the pace but it’s still not good enough!
The moments of our lives are slipping away
with no one caring to notice because they might fall behind.
