Puppet

Everyone tells me to grow
They want me to grow fast
Be smart, mature and intelligent like them
They want me to think like they do
Make decisions and be independent

So I abide by that and be
more mature than my age
And do whatever they feel
Is the right thing to do

I think, I evaluate,
I implement, I CONCLUDE
I do what I feel is right
And now they say
I have outgrown my age

I behave over smart to make my own decisions
Then why did I get the liberty in the first place?
These confused lot of elders I tell you
They don't let you live the way you want
And eventually blame you for your lack of individuality
And that tint of uniqueness

Am I not a free spirited person?
Or do I still behave like a
Lifeless PUPPET in their hands??
