Should Be
I tried to be the person that you thought I should be.
But I couldn't.
I wanted to give you the things that you needed from me.
But I didn't.
I thought I would try to live your life instead of my own.
Though I shouldn't.
You wanted me to feel that I was less than zero.
But I wouldn't.
You want me to fail out here on my own.
But I won't.
You said that I was unloveable, untouchable.
But I'm not.
You were going to bury me.
But, you can't.
