A little kid being told who and what they are
being told who they are going to grow up to be
being told who to like
what is typical for a specific gender, and what that gender shouldn't do
What if I want to break that norm
what if I want to like a girl or a boy
So what if I wear dresses or don't wear dresses
what if I sit with my legs open or if I want to cross them
So what if I become a lawyer or a doctor
Or if I become the poorest person on the planet
Let me live
You always control my life.
Tell me what to do, who to like, what to say, how to act
Now you want to tell me who to become friends with
Want to tell me that I am too fat
That I need to lose weight
That I need to eat less
Why would you say that to me
it f***ing hurts
It hurts like hell to hear you say that to me
To hear it coming from the person that's supposed to love me no matter what
But you know what
I'm not gonna listen anymore
I am going to listen to myself
Listen to what I want
Do what I want to do
Like who I want to like
Follow my path
If you don't like it
then that means that you never loved me
If you loved me, you would support me being happy
respect my decisions and stand by me
I now see that you don't listen
you don't want to listen to me
you only listen to yourself
to what you wish for me
to what you want me to look like, be like, act like
I am not your puppet, not your doll
Listen to yourselves, guys
Follow your guts
Be who want to be
Like who you want to like
You only live once
why make others dictate your life
It is YOUR LIFE
Not theirs
They lived their lives how they wanted to
Now live yours the way you want
Listen to yourselves
