Can I Make A Decision, Please?


Oh the anguish I feel in my spine

Everytime you tell me "You do as I say".

Yes, I was in your belly for nine months it seems, 

But am I your puppet that you can control as you please?

I love you with all the emotion a human can possibly offer,

But give me a break I am trying my best to please you.

Does my happiness count at all?

Yes the profession you have chosen for me to study is quite a good choice but, 

Can I Make A Decision, Please?

 

You fancy around my choices and you are stubbord to hear my thoughts.

"You will do as I say or you will fail and pay".

I know that you believe in me more than my brother

But I don't want you to choke me with the expectations you have decided to place on my shoulders.

I could not study out of the state because you pleaded and cried.

Now you have chosen my future,

Basically set it in stone.

I have done what I can and I can't take it anymore.

Can I Make A Decision, Please?
