I wanna do more
To reach outside the box
But I'm tied down
There words still ring clear
It's not safe
Do as we say
And hey
You'll do great
Go here
And receive the education
A life thats already been planned
I can see that future
It's as plane as day
But along the way
Why am I suppose to give up
What has become and will always be apart of my soul
It's an extension of me
Like a tree that has many branches
If you cut the limbs off
You still have the same tree

But at the same time different
I want to further my learning
There is no doubt on that subject
But must I be shackled to only your needs and desires
It is selfish there is no denying that
You only want the best for me
But everytime I try to think about giving itu up
I feel like crying
I don't even have to see your face to see the disbelief
Childish you may think
But to me it's not
It's much more important

I must correct myself on one point
You have sacrificed many things in your life
Just for me
Should I go your way and utter not a word
While the tears flow endlessly inside
Or should I rebel
Take a stand for what I love and follow the dream
You've said we could use for plan B
Confusion
Frustration
Anxiety
Are some of feelings I have
I love you
And I want you to be apart of this life I live
But would following my dream
Cause a disruption in our relationship


I'm at a loss for words
Either path is not easy
Each could bring dissapointment
For either of us
I haven't reached that crossroad yet
But I can see it in the distance
As it slowly approaches
