Our Choice.

They don't know What we fear, What we hate, What we'll near. 'Cause who cares?! They're "greater"! Who cares, If we disappear? All day, we fight, To make them understand, Why can't they get it? We're only doing what we can! Maths? Science? Commerce? Well, they're great! But what about Art? Music? The subjects we can take. We know we're " useless", But we're built that way. There are enough people out there, Who can turn the world great. So, what's the point, In doing something we can't do? This "pathetic" life of ours Was not designed for you. Whenever you say, Whenever yo speak, We take in those words Of what we should be. But then, we try, We try and we fail, We'll think low of us, And then we'll wail. So please, dear adults, Don't raise a forced life Let us be free, And you'll see us all fly Let us all speak, Our beautiful minds, And we'll show you a world, You never could find.

I live in a place where parents expect their kids to become a doctor or an engineer. It's always the same dream for a lot of parents.

I just hate that.
