[hometext] => I wrote this poem after an arguement with my mother where she kept on comparing me to other young people asking me why I cant be more like them. I wrote it partly in English and my mother language, Afrikaans. I hope you still get what I am trying to say.
[bodytext] => Just let me be me in the way it pleases me om rede ek is wie ek is, hou op jou gedra soos n vis en besef I aint gonna change for nobody, Aint gonna turn around to make anybody proud I’ma say it out loud. Just let me be me in the way it pleases me om rede ek maker nie jou seen, ek staan op sterke been. Jy verwag ek gaan sit en treer, ek’t gedink jy’t geleer. Ek het jou nie nodig nie, jy’s dan n las. Is dit swaar om dit te hoor, sorry om jou bubble te bars. You expect me to follow in you example, but have you taken a look at yourself lately? You keep up this holy façade while behind you just downright shady. You contradict yourself with what you say. Jy dink jy’s slim, dink weer as jy dink jy kan my kul. I refuse to believe the lie You perceive to be truth, believing the deception that rots away the roots of individuality. You expect me to reflect your monotony, if I do, it will lead to insanity.
