You try to protect me, but only end up hurting me
Molding me into a mini you
I want to be me!
Never perfect, what have I done?
Locking myself in my room, sitting in the dark
Please, stop controlling me
Living a double life, it seems so hard
I can’t act like I’m okay another day
Putting on a smile, when inside I feel like a monster
Tears escape from my eyes, slowly slipping down my face, burning my cheeks
Do you not understand?
Are you blind to what hurts me so deeply?
I need to be me, but I fear what you will do
I am not perfect, I’m sorry
I am not you, I’m sorry
I apologize for trying to be my own individual
You’re not guiding me, but controlling me
Please, just listen, don’t lash out
I just want to be okay
But sometimes that seems so far away
