57. What will people say?

When I look at the mirror,
nothing's there to like.
As I speak out,
all I am left with are regrets.
When I try to stand confident,
it's not something ideal.
All this because..
it's not justified
They set some standards
and I lack everything
they have implied.
I am tied down
to their stereotypes.
All my dreams
await their approval.
Their eyes are set,
contemplating to criticize
any choice I make.
Til the death of my dreams,
or myself.
Possibly even after that.

It's very typical in a society we live in to think about what will people say.
Rather than what we think about our own selves.
