Why can’t we do this
Why am I not allowed to love
Why would I never get your kiss
Why would you never love?
Come on now, they love you they say
Put you in your social place only to stay
Stay there until you find him there
A person that knows and will care
But
Why can’t I fall in love with another
How is me, blushing, such a bother
What obliges me to not want a touch
Or a kiss or a caress or such?
Stop it, they tell me
This is not how it’s meant to be
You know your status and how you look
You know he picks up girls rather than a book
But
Here I stand, my own team
Trying to fight for love
Trying to fulfill my dream.
