Growing up happiness followed me everywhere I went.
At times when I felt life was trying to take me down,
I would think of my future to come and smile at the sheer brilliance of it.
I think back to those days and I regret being so naive.
Society has taken control over me now, and I am just another pawn in this game.
I dreamed of growing up to be a mother, happy with her children in their little town.
I dreamt of working with animals, and discovering what this world really looked like.
I grew up fast.
They took me when I was young and subjected me to a future I did not agree with.
I had no choice but to do as I was told, because they ruled all.
My dream slowly faded as my happiness died.
I was no longer able to take walks, read books, and laugh without knowing that there was something more important to them that they wanted done.
I became a slave in my own life.
I wake up everyday to go to a place I hate,
I sit and learn about things I could care less about.
I am forced to choose a future, without even being able to live.
I finally thought after 12 years in that prison that it was over,
But I realized their plan continued.
Every single day I am on this earth I am forced to live out a life I normally would not want.
Growing up was what I had waited for as a child, now I wish I could go back.
I am a pawn in their game.
They use me to get ahead.
They control what I can and cannot do.
Whoever said life was all about choices, didn't let us have much chance to choose.
I was born into this society,
happy as could be,
Now I see though, that I am all part of their plan.
I have no freedom, no choice, no desire,
But they do not care,
I have done my deed and grown up they way they chose me too.
Now as my life goes on I work day after day to afford to live in their world.
Never is this tirade ending,
I am stuck until I die, doing exactly what they want me to do.
I am their pawn,
I went to school,
I got an education,
I got a career,
I pay my bills,
I work so I can pay them,
I live my life as they wanted,
Never did I get a chance to choose what I wanted to do.
