To be or not to be,
Questions I ask myself on the daily
Am I making the right choice,
please others and not myself?
Ignore my needs and wants,
just to justify people's judgments?
Let them walk all over me
Just so people can like me?
Is it yes or no?
Right or left?
Up or down?
I.
Don't.
Know.
Tell me what the right answer is?
Please?
We carry the stress and the pressure
Just so society can leave us alone.
So we can stop suffocating
The hold they have
Around our necks
Squeezing the sanity out of us,
So we can be exactly like them
Normal
Accepted by today's stereotypes and standards
We get to decide
We get to be happy
We are in control of ourselves
No one can tell us what we can or can not do,
We are independent
Our decisions matter
Our thoughts matter
Our happiness matters
We matter
