Just Let Me Be The Real Me

Son, what will people say? 

Just go and mend your ways. 

Just push your dreams away, 

Don’t let your imaginations sway. 

Don’t look at me that way;

I am telling you what I learnt the hard way. 

So keep your thoughts at bay. 

You can’t be as you may, 

Because what will people say? 

Mother, I can’t be what everyone expects me to be, 

I just want to be the real me. 

That bitching auntie, who the hell is she? 

Her words don’t matter, can’t you see?

Life is short for you and me.

Living it to the fullest is the key.

So just ignore these hes and shes;

Shield yourself from these swarms of bees. 

Just let me be the real me.
