Balancing Act
Balancing, not wanting to fall.
My mind, constantly adding all.
My heart says left, it's my belief.
Again, my mind gives no relief!
Life is judgments, everyday.
Is it possible to think both ways?
You live, like you want to be!
I just don't buy, what you see!
Perception, my heart, changes.
Walls! My morals' rearranges.
Peers! Playing into what I see.
What am I to think or be?
It's hard living in society!
Constantly re-inventing me!
All, taking you literally!
Must let my thoughts be!
So please, don't ask to see,
what's really inside of me.
My mind reflects not what I thought,
but what prejudices I've been taught!
My mind, constantly adding all.
My heart says left, it's my belief.
Again, my mind gives no relief!
Life is judgments, everyday.

Perception, my heart, changes.
Walls! My morals' rearranges.

What am I to think or be?
It's hard living in society!
Constantly re-inventing me!
All, taking you literally!
Must let my thoughts be!
So please, don't ask to see,
what's really inside of me.
My mind reflects not what I thought,
but what prejudices I've been taught!
