The Choice to Be

[Intro]
Silent thoughts in a crowded mind,
Questioning norms I can't unwind.
A voice for myself, a quiet cry,
Seeking truth in a crowded sky.
[Verse 1]
In a world that shouts, 'have the children,'
I stand alone, my choice unwavering.
Not for lack of love, but for space,
A personal path I choose to chase.
[Pre-Chorus]
They judge, they doubt, they criticize,
Invisible judgments in their eyes.
But who am I to conform and hide?
When inner truths are my true guide.
[Chorus]
Why am I selfish for wanting to be free?
To forge my life in my own decree.
In a world that scarcely leaves room for me,
Is it wrong to just be, simply be?
[Bridge]
Maybe insecurity's the real fear,
Of losing control, of changing gear.
But I look inside, and I see,
A longing for authenticity.
[Outro]
So here I stand, my stance unshaken,
No guilt, no shame, no feeling forsaken.
Reflect on yourselves, and then decide,
Is it really matter, or just pride?
[Intro]
Can you hear the echoes of your words?
They're haunting what I know
A reflection of a world that blurred
Between the truth and show
[Verse 1]
Tell me honestly, do you expect of me?
Or is it just your selfish dreams?
Your life was different, now you see
We're torn apart at the seams
[Pre-Chorus]
You wish for things you can't conceive
A ghost in my reality
The curse you left, I can't reprieve
Locked in this duality
[Chorus]
Honestly, do you see?
Or just what you want to believe?
Truth's a casualty, set free
From the chains you weave
[Verse 2]
Realise this world has shifted
The things you knew are gone
Your memory started to drifted
But mine carry on
[Pre-Chorus]
You wish for things you can't conceive
A ghost in my reality
The curse you left, I can't reprieve
Locked in this duality
[Chorus]
Honestly, do you see?
Or just what you want to believe?
Truth's a casualty, set free
From the chains you weave
[Bridge]
Thank you, for the silence
For the shadows and the pain
From your curses, I rise
Breaking free from your reign
[Outro]
Maybe one day you'll understand
The world is not what it seems
But I will stand, I'll make my stand
Beyond your broken dreams
