I was once a young, free spirit,
With dreams like eagles soaring in the sky.
But society had other plans for me,
And I found myself trapped, unable to fly.
They told me how to speak, how to act,
How to live, and what to think.
They said that I must fit in the script,
And that anything else would make me sink.
So I tried my best to conform,
To be the person they wanted me to be.
But it was like trying to swim upstream,
In a river that was too strong for me.
I watched as my dreams slowly drowned,
In the tide of society's demands.
My voice was silenced, my spirit broken,
And my true self became just a dust in the wind.
I was told that success and happiness
Could only be found in fitting in,
But it was all a lie.
For trying to be like everyone else,
I'd lost myself for the sake of what others would think.
I wish I could go back in time,
To when my dreams were alive and true.
But I know now that it's too late,
Because all I can do,
Is drown in this sea of societal blue.
