Behind the Curtain

Location

"Don't wear that it's too much black"

But I think I look fine

"Don't cut your hair it'll be too short"

I hate having long hair

"Don't listen to that music in which they constantly scream"

Those screams are what keep me going

                                                                        Family

They are supposed to make you feel whole

Yet, they make me feel horrible

I can't be who I want to be, 

For when I try all you hear is

"Don't"
