If You Want

If you want me to obey

I will

If you want me to give up

every dream and thought

I will

If you want me to let go

of inspiration and thought

I will

If you want me to cry

I will

If you want me to speak 

scripted words

I will

If you want me to push it all away

and stand on my own, alone

I will

After all,

a child must obey

their parents.
