I see others build sandcastles
I have some of mine own
But I am trying to make one like theirs
I try my best to make one
But the waves come up and wash it away
Sometimes others give me advice
"Try a different type of sand!"
"Build a moat around it!"
"Use buckets"
But none of those can stop the waves
I use their advice anyway
But before I finish the waves come and wash it away
I feel their eyes on me every time
They don't understand why I can build other castles
But not this one
I know they want me too build it
I keep doing my best to make it work
But they don't believe me when I say that
since I can build other castles just fine
I want to scream but before a voice creeps in
"Why are you trying to build this?"
Because thats what everyone wants
"Well I don't want it. Do you?"
I don't, this isn't what I want to build
"Then work on what you want"
But what about them?
They'll be upset
"It isn't important if they are,"
"It's more important we're happy"
I want to ask it what they mean by 'we'
but they don't want to explain yet
