Give Me Life

i am not like him
i am not like her
i am not like you
i am different 
i want a life
a life unlike anything you ever had
a free life
an independent life
a life without solitude
a life with little pain
but not no pain at all
we need pain we need heartache
i need you
but you can't need me
if you let go we can live
let me live
let me be me
let me be different
let me share success
or maybe you need time
i can give you time
i will give you time
but i cant give you forever
i am not like him
i am not like her
i am not like you
don't charactorize me like any of them
don't charactorize me like you
i don't hate you
i don't hate any of you
but i'm scared
a fear you can never understand
but i can get through it
i can get through anything
but i need your help
just don't yell
don't compare me to anybody
understand me or ask
don't make me feel stupid
tell me im smart but give me advise
don't tell me i'm wrong all the time
tell me what i can do better
just help me 
tell me i can do anything 
let me be me
