I Am Me

You tell me what to do, You tell me who to be, You tell me all the things to feed you ego and delete me. You tell me where to go and even who to see, All these things together dont seem to let me free. I listen, I take it, I dont Argue, I dont deny, I dont rebel, but i cry. I say nothing, I dont leave, I dont agree, I dont speak up, I dream to die, But i cant fly. So i stay, I live my life a a hollow shell of what you want me to be, Of your attempt to create a second childhood, or a second you. But thats not me,
