It's hard to be me


Its hard to be me,

In a place that forces intelligence as a priority.

Drilled in my mind with something I don't agree,

always following the majority.

It's hard to be me,

because I like to play video games rather than studying history.

Expecting much in what I want to be,

unable to write my own story.

It's hard to be me,

and sometimes I just want to disappear.

At least I know I will be free,

in the end I must preserve.

I dont even know if I want to be me.
