The hope I was holding on to is gone
And so is the picture perfect future I'd drawn
I'm afraid to say my fears out loud
I wanna be the best, different from the crowd
But is it really my fault to be weak
Also this isn't really the future I seek
It's just what I was told to do
My parent's told me- "it's good for you"
Never have I ever gotten the chance
To choose for myself, not even once
Do I have no right to choose what I want
"What do you even know"- my parents taunt
Yes, I know nothing, but I do have dreams
I try to tell them by my screams
But they never listen and just tell me
The best in the crowd must be thee
The hopes and dreams of mine do not matter
No one knows how loud it sounds, when it shatters
My fears have no home to be in and rest
I just somehow have to be the best
