They told me I was too nice - always "pleasing"
They told me I always smile - never "demeaning"
They told me to "give up" - saying "you'll mess it up"
They wanted me to stick to "what I know" - for I may never grow
I was confused. I was unsure.
Was it that bad to be nice to people?
Was it that bad to greet everyone with a smile and not sneer?
Was it that bad to try something "new"?
Was it that bad to not follow "norms" but instead do what I'm *required to do*
They told me I'm good at team work!
When it came to the death table - they left me to naught!
I pushed.. I prodded some more...
I sweat.. I bled..
Sleepless nights I had..
I somehow survived!
Today - when it came to seeing the dream turn to reality
They told me to step away and smile
They told me to be nice and make way for others to be in the limelight
Now I no longer smile (deep down)
Now I no longer am nice ( to those I don't need to)
I wonder who won - those who wondered at my smile - or those who snatched away the same with their smiles (lies!)
