The heir
I am your heir, mother
the hier to all your trust issues
and all those mental pressures
you've given me
I try so hard not to be like you
but I don't have a choice do I?
cuz I've seen you all along
I've got no choice but
to just blindly follow what you've told me
"Never cry infront of people
they will only laugh at you from behind"
I don't know if it's true
but it must be since it was told by you
"Never show your true emotions
cuz people only know how to toy with it"
"Always keep your problems to yourself
cuz no one else is gonna solve'em for ya"
"Never get connected with people
cuz they never show their true colours "
I try to follow these all
but I do have a doubt
what if my life could be different?
can I be myself for a little while
can I atleast hope to have a better life
or do I just go on thinking
I'll never be happy just like you
cuz deep inside I wanna feel a little more alive!
or is that too much to ask?
