this is heavy on my chest

If you know me in real life, this isn't meant to be pointed at you,,

I'm really fed up with this,
This look and tone people give me
As if my life isn't up to their standards,
They tell me that I'm not having fun, if I'm home most of the time,
But they hardly know what my fun is,
I'm only fifteen, and I'm expected to go "party" with older people who I am not comfortable with,
And according to my sister,
I'm a "pussy" for not doing so,
I'm a pussy because I won't cross a busy road,
That I refuse to drive on the main road with little experience,
That I won't get drunk and high with my friends,
My life isn't fun,
According to them

But actually,
I'm having fun, watching a movie,
Laying down in bed,
Waking up early to watch the sun,
Hardly having anyone to talk to,
Stay home,
Stay sober,
Getting high off my art and music,
And loving my bed and favorite blanket

This is MY fun, not theirs
