Sometimes I want to speak

But get silenced by others

Sometimes I want to scream

But the voice inside tells me No

Sometimes i want to cry

But the mind says "stay strong"

Sometimes I want to smile

But the heart couldn't be strong

Sometimes I want to run

But the mind establish its rule

Sometimes I want to ignore

But the heart starts to speak itself

Sometimes all this come together

And the body inside fights to decide

When this happen you're frozen

You won't be able to express yourself

The world then looks like a blank paper

The body is where the scribbling is done

Nothing makes sense

Yet everything does makes sense

This is how it feels to be us

This is how,to be underestimated

This is how, to be burdened with expectation

This is How, to see their disappointment

This is how you feel when you don't understand

What needs to be understood by you

This is how it feels when you're told you're kids

And then minutes later you become adults

You try to succeed and when you do

The happiness stays for a day

Then comes the same old

Same old critism anyway

To be compared with friends

To try to become like them

Or to fail to be one of them

The pain of ignorance

Time changes with friends

You'll be surprise to see

That they changed with time

Whereas you remain the same

The pain of ignorance

The pain of disappointment

The burden of expectations

The fear of failure

To be us is like to be stuck

In the maze with no way out

To decide what is truth and what is not

To decide what to be afraid of and what not

To be us is like the hardest thing of life

Yet you have to be us

Cause we are you and you are us

Cause you have to grow to accept the truth

Sometimes we live in lies

And want to discover the truth

But sometimes discovering the truth

Makes us want to live in lies

Life is the hardest mystery

Yet we try to solve it

Yet we try to fit in

Sometimes trying makes you

feel like crying

This is all what you feel to be us

This is what is life from our eyes

This is what we live like

This is how you feel when you're teenagers
