Stuck

I'm stuck,
I don't know which path to take,
They tell me it's all wrong,
But it seems perfectly okay.

Making big deals out of small things,
They say it brings freedom, 
But freedom is what I miss,
Am I not seeing something I should see?.

Their lives, they make them seem fine,
Always putting up at smile in public,
But at home nothing is ever right,
Do they realize they're living a lie?.

They tell me to behave, to smile and to be nice,
But how can I smile and be happy, 
If they're taking me away from things I like,
And how can I be nice,
If all I see is two faced people full of lies.

I really hope they notice, 
Just how much it hurts,
To be told you have freedom,
But live stuck in a cage.
