Finding Myself

I spent years
Trying to get you to 
See me for who I am.
But you only looked at me 
And saw what I wasn't.
So I tried to change 
So your see me for once,
Really see me.
I tried to do anything
For you 
But still you 
Couldn't see me for who I was. 
So I gave up trying. 
To get you to see Me.
You only see what you wanted.
I was never the daughter you wanted.
You told me bunch.
Those words always stuck 
With me. 
And never lefted.
Now I'm trying to 
Find myself again.
And love myself 
For who I am.
And the person you didn't.
