Life Is Just A Show

Slowly it takes control.

There's so much I want to say

But I can't help but be afraid.

I'm stuck in this rut

Trying my best not to fuss.

 

The words try to push through

But still I remain silent

Oh what is a girl to do?

Can't seem to fight down the riot

 

Life is just a show

Only my voice can't be heard

If my freedom isn't a must

Then who can I even trust?

Yes life is just a show

They tell me to play a part

Not to listen to my heart

And rip my independence apart.

 

No matter how hard I try

Slowly I feel my lips dry

I can't even courage to speak

My creativity soon falls weak.

 

I'm told to do this, do that

Don't question the facts

Just live the way they say

Be a clone each and every day

 

Oh life is just a show

Slowly taking control

Like the spuryness
hmmm
what it means to me
is we are expected to be best at what other people want us to be
and not getting the chance to be what we want
