Be yourself
It’s not so easy to be
When you’re not even sure honestly
Be yourself
Won’t you please just tell me
What you want so I can be
“What are you supposed to be?”
Maybe I don’t know
But please don’t try to tell me that it’s just for show
When you presume to know me better than I know myself
It’s just a blatant fear of things that you don’t understand
Try not to hear those voices anymore
So beside myself I scream and shout
But still you don't hear
(You think you’ve finally stopped giving a shit what anybody else thinks
And you’re free,
Free from societal norms, free from outdated expectations, free to be your true self
To express yourself without fear
But how can we ever be truly free under capitalism?
When even our identity and “individuality” are just marketable commodities?
We can’t)
