Game Over

Make me of who I am 
not who you want me to be.

By me trying to satisfy you,
I have to pretend to be something I'm not.

Not only am I lying to you,
but I'm lying to myself.

If you cared about me,
you wouldn't make or let me do this

Lie to you,
by lying to myself
Hurt myself,
by hurting you.

I can't take it no more
I want out 


I QUIT!

                                                                     Game Over
