The Balance
I know I must consider what they say,
But I do not want to come across as unsure
I must make sure my own opinion is not taken away.
All the thoughts I have would be the same every day,
Unless somebody lets me know of just a little more,
And I know I must consider what they say.
To agree or disagree, either is ok,
So I might decide my outlook is not as good as yours,
But I must still make sure my own opinion is not taken away.
A part of me wants to leave while the other wants to stay
And by the end of it all, my brain is sore
Because I know I must consider what they say
But we’re taught that it’s wrong to betray.
Thinking of my own ideas might make me more mature,
So I must make sure my own opinion is not taken away
I know it sounds cliché
But it makes me feel more secure.
So although I must consider what they say
I must always make sure my own opinion is not taken away
