i feel so defeated
i don’t know what to do
no matter how hard i try
i can’t agree with their point of view

in making my life choices
they keep telling me a certain path is best
go to school. get married. buy a house.
“this is how you will keep your soul at rest”

everyone’s numbness frightens me
conformance is for what most strive
but what if resignation doesn’t suit me?
and i want to actually be alive ?

i don't want to surrender
to what they tell me is "great"
i know there is so much more
than this dulling societal fate

they're all running around like mad
thinking everything they do is so serious
how are they so good at pretending?
or is it i that am delirious?

i’ve accepted
my pain / my disappointments /my heartaches
they were all meant for me
none of them were a mistake

i’ve lived different sadnesses
but i’ve survived and am still here
that is my power
that will never disappear

i have no more time to worry
about those who can't see me
because once you understand yourself
there is nothing you can't be

i'll continue on my journey
anticipating the best
but what can really go wrong
when consenting to your personal quest?
