Expected

Always expected to do something, In my sister's eyes, I'm the sweet little one, Makeup and pink, never growing up, But I feel the weight, it's just too much. Shut up! Stop that! I wanna be who I'm meant to be, Don’t cage me in, don’t lock me up, Just let me be free, let me be me. To my parents, I’m the perfect child, Better than my siblings, always in style, Sister-in-law sees me as the little brat, Adorable and sweet, but that’s not where I’m at. Shut up! Stop that! I wanna be who I'm meant to be, Don’t cage me in, don’t lock me up, Just let me be free, let me be me. At my job, they want me to smile, To my friends, I’m the one to lead, Always there with a listening ear, But inside I’m screaming, can’t you hear? Shut up! Stop that! I wanna be who I'm meant to be, Don’t cage me in, don’t lock me up, Just let me be free, let me be me. I wanna tell you who I really am, But you keep me in a box, Let me bloom like a flower, Don’t take my light, don’t knock me down, Please, please, please, just let me be free
