Fettered by regulation,
Weighed down by expectation
Bent over in submission
Narrow norms of society
Create needless fear
When to standards of propriety
The heart refuses to adhere
So most of us learn
To suppress our inner voice
While secretly we yearn
For the freedom of choice
To break free from the tether
Of society’s expectations
Break barriers made by others
Follow our aspirations.
So gather the courage
To follow your heart’s vagaries
Turn to your life’s next page
Write your own life’s series.
I did just that yesterday. A weight was lifted–I highly recommend it.
