#1
I sigh and lay back
My heart aches
For when everything was so much simpler
When everything was so easy
No ones expectations were lined up on me
No one would look down at me
I didn’t have to fit a stereotype
I didn’t have to look a certain way
Or behave a certain way
I could just me
Without any filters
Without any conditionings
Everything was so easy earlier
Why can’t it be that way now?
Why do we still try to meet people’s expectations,
Why do we take all the judgmental comments in
Why do we condition ourselves?
