Be Me


Conditioned to be the best that I can be

Following the dream that is for me

Did I plan it with my own intentions?

Or did I pull ideas through my connections?

 

Where can I be the best that I can be?

Where can I recognize my dream?

Through the system I am just a statistic

Although a person I’m looked as a digit

 

When will I be the best I can be?

When I will reach all of my dreams

Time is precious yet it’s used in excess {ekses}

My goals, strong, but have limited access

 

What is the best that I can be?

What is the dream that I must succeed?

Path full of struggles and accomplishments

Overshadowed by others acknowledgements

 

How do I know when I achieved?

My dream and the best that I can be?
Stress over time to fit in the frame

To be perfect just to survive the game

 

Why must I be the best that I can be?

Why must I accomplish a dream?

It’s supposed to be freedom in me

So back off the judgment society
