It all started the day you proclamied
that I was big now and must be tamed.
So you declared; Follow the rules everyday
Be smart, be nice, be good all the way
It's rude, that's what you grown up's say
That i never behave in the right way
Manners is what i need to cultivate
and why do I turn everything into a debate?
It's rude if i question WHY
The many rules you bind me by.
It's rude if i say NO or roll my eyes
I become Ill-mannered in a trice
I'm selfish If i say i want my peace
I wan your comparisons to cease.
What others do, that's what you judge me by
I'm so difficult, that's what you say and Sigh.
What I've finished, that's what you've never seen
What can't you be like them? That's how it's always been.
Why is it always a race?
Does it really matter; That first place?
Look into my world, see my pain
See Me struggling to break the chain
The strong shackles in which you bind me
I just want to be free; Can't you see?
Let me make mistakes,
It's only my pride at stake.
Let me stumble and fall
Do it myself; That's all.
The outer mast,for your sake,That i wear
But inside out,I'm nothing but tears.
Why are there so many rules?
If we don't follow;Are we fools?
Free to live my life, That's what I want
In my own way, Without any taunts
I just want to be Free; To be ME
I just want You To let Me Be.
