When I was 5, I made up my mind to
become a doctor,
my relatives laughed.
When I was 12, I decided to study law,
my mother said I can't,
"It's not suitable for a girl."
When I was 14, I switched again, to psycology and philosophy,
my father said they led to no future.
And now I realise that people's standards don't match,
to you, they will add up as 'double standards'
Now I realise that people's opinions shouldn't matter
-- they can't all matter
Do yourself a favour:
draw your own path,
or else you may forever regret a choice you never made.
