Forget What They Say
November 16, 2011
He says to do this
She says listen close
He tells me not to
My mind is boggled
I don't know who to follow
Too many choices
Forget what they say
Don't be a follower: Lead
Always tall and proud
Why follow their rules
When you can create your own
New Expectations
Escape social norms
What is "normal" anyway?
No more boundaries
Stay true to yourself
And hang on for a wild ride
Think and live freely
A path will emerge
You will find ones who love you
You will find passion
You control yourself
It's not about fitting in
It is standing out
