If i try to be someone else,
How would I face my own reflection,
The shadow,
Which follows me.
Won't it go away?
The way I will loose myself,
In order to prove myself,
And stand upon their expectations.
Won't it take away,
The color of my sky?
If I will always try to fit,
Into this imperfect world,
Crawling to achieve perfection,
Which is an illusion to their eyes.
Won't it make me,
A puppet of their hands?
Not having my own thoughts,
Even voice which can be recognised,
From so far.
So, why would I,
Stop following my heart?
Why would I live on their conditions?
A life is all I have,
To live not to just breathe.
Then why can't I,
Let my shadow,
Follow me throughout the journey,
Learning to grow from the unpleasant past.
