Never do what they do.

Amid the chirping in the trees and the peace within,

I look back to when I longed to be Myself.

In the stress of my days since birth, I wondered,

Can I please just be Me the way I am?

With so much that I must be

Can I please just be Me?

 

In an environment where criminals walk freely and dreamers are despised 

everybody wants you to be what they want you to be 

Rather,

they should all be thinking of getting to know themselves. 

No one is taught how to survive this reality, 

but I've longed to be Myself.

In their stupor of death,

 

  the soul rebels prevail.
