Am I allowed to have a dream?
For once can I think for me?
Just for once can I speak for myself?
When will I be able to do what I desire?
Or to say what’s truly in my heart?
I dream to do something without looking back
I mean, isn’t it supposed to be like that?
Need I not be worried what you would think of me?
Shouldn’t you always just be behind me?
Tell me, why should I care what other people would say?
It’s my dream. Mine isn’t it?
Yet why do I hold back?
Until now why don’t I try to fight back?
Why is it I never speak out?
Why don’t I seem to cry out?
Why am I too scared to stand up?
Why am I too afraid, to tell my parents what I honestly want?
Why do I find it so hard to stop both of you?
Why do I pretend everything is fine?
When deep inside I just knew it wasn’t right.
Mother, why do you prevent me from my dreams?
Father, why is it you want me to fulfill your dream?
Don’t you understand I can’t live someone else’s dream?
Can’t you see that your child can’t be someone she’s not?
So tell me is someone like me allowed to have a dream?
For once can I think for me?
Just for once can I speak for myself?
When will I be able to do what I desire?
Or to say what’s truly in my heart?
I dream to do something without looking back
I mean, isn’t it supposed to be like that?
Need I not be worried what you would think of me?
Shouldn’t you always just be behind me?
Tell me, why should I care what other people would say?
It’s my dream. Mine isn’t it?
Yet why do I hold back?
Until now why don’t I try to fight back?
Why is it I never speak out?
Why don’t I seem to cry out?
Why am I too scared to stand up?
Why am I too afraid, to tell my parents what I honestly want?
Why do I find it so hard to stop both of you?
Why do I pretend everything is fine?

Mother, why do you prevent me from my dreams?
Father, why is it you want me to fulfill your dream?
Don’t you understand I can’t live someone else’s dream?
Can’t you see that your child can’t be someone she’s not?
So tell me is someone like me allowed to have a dream?

This is a broken family. The girl is just so tired of her parents constantly at her. They dictate everything she does and they want her to be. Never once do they think of what she might want or how she feels about all of their decisions. They don’t give her the freedom because they’re too scared of what other people will think. They only seem to compare her with everyone. Nothing seems to be good enough.
Now, thankfully for me my parents always let me decide what I want to do. They back me up with every decision I make which is a sign of good parents. There’s nothing wrong with guidance but when a parent controls their child’s life something is wrong. So this is for all of you, whose parents don’t understand the meaning of a child’s dream. If you're going through this my advice is to speak up and tell your parents how you really feel. Don't ever live someone else's dream ok..
