When The Lights Go Off

Alone

But not lonely

Found happiness

Just being me

Turned up the speakers

To drown criticisms 

Living my life

My part in the grand script

And when the stage lights go off

Know I've signed off

  15. You crack me up. LOL. “Turned up the speakers/To drown criticisms” That’s so funny. And you are really brave to stand up to them. And be strong and write your own scripts and perform in your own drama. I just read a book about family psychology and there’s a story that an adult child who’s ok otherwise, but her family’s expectation drives her mad. Actually I witnessed many instances like that in the immigrant community, which is rife with such cases.

    1. Glad you enjoyed the post. I’ve seen that in my community too. The children are great but their family expects them to be perfect which is impossible and that pressure really brings out a lot of bad things in them. Some turn to drugs and alcohol. Others suffer breakdowns.
