A smile or two
Counts not as a few
But a mile long road
Of "you must" and to do's
A picture worth painting
Is just as restraining
As a dog in a cage
Muzzled during training
Amidst the achievers
Are silenced nonbelievers
For those who protest
Are labeled "the deceivers"
A map of success
Is just paper at best
When your heart leaves a void
As it runs from your chest
As the clock tic tocs
Opportunity walks
Now you're stuck with the laughter
That muted its knock
Expectation demands
With transparent commands
Dont find yourself saying
"This is not what I planned"
Follow what makes you happy, not what others expect you to do! <3
