I’m Told…

I’m told to be positive,
And look on the bright side,
My negative thoughts,
I’m always forced to hide.

I’m told to always smile,
And put on a happy face,
Push the sadness away,
Stay in a cheerful place.

I’m told to look ahead,
And never look to the past,
Forget the bad times,
Focus on things that last.

I’m told to always be strong,
And never let my fears win,
Let confidence show,
And hide the turmoil within.

I’m told to always give,
And always be willing too,
Never mind my needs,
Do what they want me to do.

I’m told to never complain,
And accept my given role,
Don’t argue with them,
And always stay in control.

I’m told so many things,
But I just don’t know anymore,
What should I believe?
Why should I be listening for?...
