I've tried to be what you've wanted for so long I didn't want to disappoint you But the weight of your approval is pulling me down The load has become to heavy to hold I'm dying to be the best Can't you see... Just for once can't I just be me I'm sinking slowly but surely You'll judge me and leave me like you always do Please hold my hand Don't let me go My efforts aren't enough My hard earned trust means nothing What more can I do I can't keep living like this It's time to break free To let go of all you expect of me Because living like this will surely kill me I love you and I tried to be perfect for you But I just want to be normal I want to make mistakes so I can learn from them I want to fall so I can pick myself back up I'm starting new I have to be myself Because I can't keep living for you

turning over into a new leaf... well you should be able to live the way you want and not be judged/looked upon by others... a very sorrowing write but surely with a powerful end! ~ Arany
