Is it wrong to say what I want to?
Is it wrong to feel what I feel?
Is it wrong to not listen to everything they tell me?
These questions haunt me,
getting their answers is not easy.

They want me to be happy all the time,
Is being sad when I feel sad wrong?
Am I supposed to hide how I feel, just so..
so that they aren't affected by it?
I am human too

I want to have choices,
I don't want everything served in a platter to me,
and still not have a choice.
I want to live my life.
Is that so wrong?

It is the fear of what would happen next,
that keeps me from speaking.
I don't seek sympathy or pity,
I seek understanding.
I want people to let me be what I want to be,
do what I want to do.
Is it wrong to have goals and dreams?

If growing up means giving up on my dreams,
then I don't want to grow up.
I would rather be an immature kid than be an adult without dreams.
I would rather be illiterate with humanity than be literate without humanity.
Is it so wrong to wish?
We live in a world where even though we have various freedoms, we are still scared to speak up. It does not mean on a very high level, it means not opening up to your parents, friends or anybody else. People need to understand that if they don't put out their feelings, others won't be able to know what he/she wants. Hence, this would lead to misunderstandings between the closest people. So, it's better to open up.
