We are just constantly
Told what to do
By the government
And by society
By our teachers
And by our parents
My bones are aching
I’m so tired
Of being everyone’s puppet
Being told how I should dress
How I should feel
What I should think
They tell me what career I should pursue
Even though that is not what I want
They tell me what I should say
Because it’s impolite to speak your mind
Stop telling me what to do
Because I don’t want to hold you responsible
When I regret my choices
Let me do what I choose to
Let me pursue MY dreams
Even though you think you’re protecting me
You’re actually controlling me
And I’m tired of it
The more you try to push me towards you
The more I try to pull away
I’m done being the worlds puppet
I’m done being
Told what to do
It can just tiring being forced to do what everyone else thinks is “right.” I just want to find my own way even if I do stumble and fall. I just want the chance to do what I want with my life not what people want me to do because sometimes it just gets suffocating and I feel trapped.
“There are always risks in freedom. The only risk in bondage is breaking free”
“Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?” – Rumi
