People be lying
Turning back when needed the most
Call them friends or family
It's all a facade
Fades away like the morning mist

Pain, misery or distressed
What's the new word in dictionary

Deep within the bones
Staring at the adult i turned to

They say dream big
But why am bounded by the society norms
Don't do this , Don't do that
Be a lady the man desires
But do they ask what I ...?

Becoming an adult
I see life running far away from me
Sometimes I overtake, sometimes I give up the race
No cheer leaders
No smily faces
Is that the life in me aspire....
