Mannequin
Don't let people tell you how to live your life.

I'm always being told "Grow up, act Mature."
"Talk like this, move like me, look like her."
In this life I'm condemned
You expect me to pretend
I'm a mannequin
You move my thoughts where they want them
Paint a smile on my face
nothing but frills and lace
Make me feel like I'm easy to replace
You say you want me happy, protected
But all I ever feel is rejected
I'm not a material you can mold to perfection
I think your methods could use some reflection
You underestimate how much I can withstand
If you're not careful
I won't be there to hold your hand
