BY SENAIT G/HIWOT
Should i smile when i feel sad
Should i plead when i feel mad
Should i adjust to what they think
So i may not be perceived as weak
I am my own self and not anyone else
I shouldn’t feel like i should please
Everybody that comes my way
I feel like i should stay
True to myself in every sense
So i can live my life with ease
I will never be good enough for some
And for others i will be
This is the way the world works
And things are as they should be
