Questions to Ask



Questions to Ask

Do you have the courage to be yourself?
Or are you who you were raised to be, displayed on the shelf?
Inhibitions, that evil dictator wrapping you in a chain
Your broken heart of regret when you see their disappearing mane

Perhaps that dress which you loved but didn’t dare
You thought they’d think you vain and stare
Love and individuality in despair
The two millstones sent to bear

But never mind the past, for the future’s always now
You know who you are and must take that vow
To open who you are and to hell with anyone
To embrace who you want to love even if looked down upon

For inner satisfaction, whether you’re viewed as strange or great
This is the most vital reaction to what is inviolate
And society is an irrelevant invention
Made to control thru’ convention
