Would You?

Would you love me if I were to do everything you said I should do? If I was to follow in your every footstep, living my life in imitation of you? Would you respect me if I let you mold me into what you think I should be? If I was to sit back and be your puppet while you happily pulled all the strings? Would you care for me if I were to agree with everything that you’ve said? If I was to view your word as my law, would you think you had it made? Would you admire me if I gave up all my dreams so that you could have your way? If I would put all my trust in you, though you let me down day after day? Or would you pity me, knowing that I had not an ounce of pride, for letting you change who I was on the inside as well as the outside?
