Why can’t I be me?

  • Why must I be whats forced to be?
    Who put the rules in place for me
    No one ever asked me
    Why can’t I be me?

    How come I can’t wear what I want?
    Play with toys I decide I like?
    Feel safe in my own space?
    Why can’t I be me?

    When did this world change?
    To follow stupid conventions made?
    Who would follow them seriously?
    Why can’t I be me?

    All I want is to be myself
    Do all the things I want
    Then pass to the next a peaceful soul
    Why can’t I be me?
