your own - poem kuno

Do you want to shout?
Do you want to curse?
Why would you want to do all this?
Are you in anger?
Are you so mad?
Do you feel that the world is against your will?

Who do you fear?
Who asks you to follow?
Is it not your decision to do the things you do?

Why are you pressured?
Is it your family that burdens you?
Is it the society that puzzles you?
Or maybe it is you
You think of what they’ll say
You think of what they’ll think
And then you blame them for every little thing

Who told you to listen?
Who told you to care?
Who made you do the things you wouldn’t dare?
Isn’t it in your hands to make it all work?
Isn’t it in your mind that the decision works?

Tell me dear friend, is it the pattern that stops you
Is the pattern that powerful?
Or are you just powerless?
