Just be yourself, they always say.

Just do what makes you happy, they always say.

Just go out there and do your thing, they always say.

It’s your life, you choose how you want to live it.

They always say, stop talking back, you’re being so rude!

They always say, stop trying, you can’t sing at all!

They always say, stop eating so much, you’re gaining too much weight!

It’s your life, but they make better choices than you.

You love amethysts, yet they crack them.

You love beaches, yet they soil them.

You love candles, yet they burn them.

It’s your life, yet they live it for you.

Why, oh dear, just why?

This or that or that or this?

Irony – strong. Strong.
