To Hard to Understand

 

As kids we are told we can be Anything,

We will support you

is what they say

With standards hidden away

 

As long as they approve

Not me

But you

 

What do you mean?

May I not choose my destiny

My future… My fate… My inevitability…

 

I just need your support

I don’t need you to understand

For only I know

 

Who… I am

 

My thoughts… My dreams…

My hopes… My reasons…

 

It is too hard for you to understand

For only I know

Who I am...
