Don´t be human

Why do you decide what I can and can´t do?!

Don’t be human 

 

Begin the day with hope and joy, 

Be nice, be honest but don’t you dare raise your voice. 

Because as a woman, a man, a girl or a boy you don’t have a right to say,    

“I have a choice!” 

Just listen to the small voice in your head that says,  

“Be like her, be like him” before you go to bed. 

You're too fat, you're too thin, you will never fit inn! 

Don’t do that, don’t say this, don't act like a b*tch, 

Please him and please her, no matter how much it hurts. 

 

Be perfect be nice, always apologize and even if you are right... 

Let “them” have the spotlight because you're too young, you're too old.  

You're too loud and too bold you have no friends, no voice and also no choice. 

Why can't you be like them? 

Don’t love her, don’t love him or don’t call them, them. 

 

It's so simple to just listen and do as you're told there is no need for your rights,  

no need to be bold. 

Take care of this and take care of that but don’t act like you know better then that.

Don’t be rude, could you wipe that awful look off your face? 

“Just be perfect it's as easy as that,” is what they say

Don’t dress like him and don’t act like her, but  

“Don’t be human, be this, be like us” they say.  

“Don’t be human but be this be like us” they say. 

Don’t be human

Hi Mads .. I caught your name on the new writers section here at the Cafe' ... I am old ;) your "voice" in this is much like those of my children when they were going through those teen, "developing" years. We are taught by our parents, those fortunate enough; and rebellion is part of making one's own unique position on things. I also here the voice of those who get wrapped up in peer pressure .. something very destructive to both perps and victims of it. I especially like the take I get on what "human" is .. the use of sarcasm and irony make you point a strong one. Nice to meet you Mads! I'm
