I want to be happy
For myself
For who I am
Want to be able
To smile in a mirror
But every time I try
I can't
Because
They're there
Their expectations
Their words
Their ideals
Their push
Them
I want to be who I am now
Around everybody in my life
Instead of slipping on
A different mask
For whoever I'm around
But the masks must change
Because
They're there
Their expectations
Their words
Their Ideals
Their push
Them
I want to find
Myself
For myself
So I am happy
Later on in life
But I will never have the chance
Because
They're there
Their expectations
Their words
Their ideals
Their push
Them
Someday I hope
That they will read
Everything written here
On a paper I write
And then I will break
Their expectations
Their words
Their ideals
Their push
Them
Because I am who I want
And they will realize
I am me
Not their puppet
Because
They're there
Their expectations
Their words
Their ideals
Their push
Them
