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.

Nice writing. So many of us have been down that road, so you speak for them.

Thank you. It is a hard road to travel, for so many of us. I hope this conveys that we are not alone.
