Peer Pressure
Standing in a crowd,
feeling all alone
I search for my place,
my social home
So many ways to go,
So little time to lose
I have to find my place;
I have to choose.
So many voices,
offering different choices,
can’t I just drain all these conflicting noises?
Though I could be anyone that catches my attention,
None of them really fit my personal dimension.
So why do I strive to be someone I’m not?
When the real person I am is the person I forgot.
