I wonder if humans were meant to be hypocrites
If so, should we all be criticized?
I was told that we should always walk the talk,
be honest and frank.
If there's a problem, we solve it out
we do not sweep things under the carpet.

But as I grow up
I learned that we can't just say or do whatever we like
There are words that are not allow to say,
actions that are not allow to do.
There are times where you just have to
swallow the situation given to you, like it or not.
If only saying no or turning down a favor were as easy as breathing
If only we could choose what we like to do and what we don't
If only there's a clear distinguish between black and white.

Don't give me "that's part of life..." phrase because
I'm not happy with taking a "yes" for everything
I want to do more things I like, do less things I dislike
I want to draw the lines in gray areas, and
I'm really tired of sustaining and putting up a strong front.
