Dreams

Something I've always been confused about, when people say follow your dreams.

Why is it people say follow your dreams
When really they want you to be normal
And walk along with all the normal schemes
When all you want to be is abnormal
People always push that different is good
Yet step out of line and all hell breaks loose
I step back and see all I've withstood
But still all I hear is the noise of "boo's"
They ask in a tone so confused and mad
"Why did you choose this, what were you thinking?"
I answer with my voice shaking and sad
"Because I was hurt, and quickly sinking"
They look at me then with remorse of sort
As I turn and follow my dreams with a snort.
