Break free

**This was a poem that I had to write for school

In my family
I'm under a lot of pressure
There are high expectations of me
And it's hard to live up to the measure

My life was planned out
Ever since I was young
I had no real say
In what I wanted to become

My interests and hobbies
Were always ignored
All my hopes and dreams
Thrown out the door

But now I'm stepping up
Through all my fears
And speaking out
Through all the tears

This is my life
And I will have the last say
I will not follow their plan
Not for another day
