People told me to play with dolls
So I did
People told me to like pink
So I did
People told me to wear dresses or traditional clothes
So I did
People told me to cook so I could be family honor
So I did
People told me to serve strangers
So I did
People told me to go through painful and volatile processes to look like a pretty soft girl
So I did
I did these things even it made me suffocate
I did these things without complaining
I swear I am done with this crap.
I will play video games.
I will like any color I want to like.
I will wear whatever the heck I want to wear.
I will serve myself and not some random stranger.
I will not go through that stupid processes to look beautiful.
I told myself to do things for myself.
So I did.
