I am tired of the opinions,
That you provide in abundance.
They monopolize my choices,
And strip me of my voice.

I am tired of the judgements,
That you deliver like a testament.
They manipulate my decisions,
And crush my visions.

I am tired of the expectations,
That you possess in millions.
They make me dance to your tune,
And lead me further to ruin.

I am tired of the stereotypes,
That you are always sure to hype.
They hinder my progress,
And leave me in distress.

I am tired of putting a facade
Only for you to give your nod.
Oh, dear society!
Please, just let me be.
