I am

I am drowning with other people’s dream.
I wonder if I can fulfill their desire.
I hear the voices of my family
I see what my family want me to see.
I want to be free.
I am drowning in other people’s dreams

I pretend to be free like a bird with no worry.
I feel like I am trapped in a gloomy black room with only one way out.
I touch no open field.
I worry about my dreams.
I cry that my dream will separate from me once and for all.
I am drowning in others’ thoughts.

I understand that I am their hope and future.
I say “yes” to all their wishes but “no” to mine.
I dream of an open plain with bird chirping, and sun shining on my face.
I try to escape but ropes are tied to my feet.
I hope to find my one true place.
I am a trap teenager full with other people’s dreams.
