who to be


I’m trapped in a cage of expectations set by those who have close relations to be who i am but i can’t help who i am i am the exception to the rule me against the world, its a duel no one can tell me what to be because i am me Caught between two worlds one is taught one is learned one knows things must be earned nothing is ever free not even love as i can see Pursuit of happiness is what i am about i live for the little moments of true bliss from my first steps to my first kiss everything gets cloudy with a mess like this a mind full of matter and a heart that is tattered I’m the creator of messes the maker of chaos but in the end it all pays off life isn’t living without risk taking life causes real pain aching skies are the limit and time is the key it’s running out soon i will who i’ll be to be who i am to see who i’ll become mother plus father and i am the sum friends and family is important to me the people that help me see who to be
