Why should she have to choose?

Why should she have to choose between career and family?
Why should her decisions make them question her sanity?
Why should she have to choose between him and her dream?
Why should they care about what her actions might mean?

She knows that her life could demand sacrifices.
She knows that she could have to make some compromises.
She knows it won't be easy to keep all her dreams alive.
But why should she give up before she even tries?

Why should she have to choose between science and dramatics?
Why should they say that her ideas are not pragmatic?
Why should she have to choose between money and peace of mind?
Why should they think she has to leave her world behind?

She knows some parts of life could have to take a back seat.
She knows that some of her dreams might have to face defeat.
She knows it won't be practical to chase all her dreams at once.
But why should she not chase them anyway and see what she becomes?
