So this girl lashed out her frustrations
Of having too many people controlling her
Decisions.
"But it is MY life, MY life!" she exclaimed
Half-screaming in the crowd
And I sat there, watching, listening
Wondering if she should let her temper
Her emotions, get the better of her
But now I look back
With admiration
At her fierce determination
Her courage
To go against the flow
She knew what she wanted
And would fight for it
Against pressures from all sides
Against conformity
She was brave
What about me?
Pushed from all sides to conform
Can I stand and fight
Do I have that courage at all
