Simplify

Why is everything so complicated
When life can be so simple and easy
There is not one thing to be hated
You just have to live freely

Why do you have to care so much
About what others might think about you
You don't need to impress anyone
Be carefree, be reckless, be you

Life is a game, you just have to play
Why spend all your time planning your moves
Sometimes you need to take a risk
And not the one that others approve

Life is a path, you just need to walk
It is a maze where you won't get lost
So don't check if anyone follows you
And avoid following anyone else too

Life is a river
You just go with the flow
You can stop once in a while
To admire nature, nothing more

Life is short
You don't have time to hate
Stop thinking so much
Just un-complicate

I Am What You Made Me

Since I have been a bundle of blankets
I've been constantly learning your rules
I've been told to abide by them 
That's all they told me at home and in schools

Why are my own opinions ridiculed 
When yours are just as outrageous 
You've stuffed your ways into my mind
And what you're doing is dangerous 

Because I am what you made me
And you made me a coward 
I'm afraid to speak what I think 
How am I supposed to move forward 

I am indeed what you made me
And you took away my confidence
I'm no longer comfortable in my own body
You made me lose my essence 

You need to change your rusty old traditions
They're not going to work anymore
You need to change yourself 
And you need to start right at the core 

Oh, I am what you made me
And you made me an outcast
One day I'll make you pay
And I'm going to make it last
