You,Yourself,Not Me
When I look into your eyes
I try to see behind your lies
I never seem to know the truth
No matter how hard I try and look
You show me no emotion
But give me an excuse
You think I’m just no good
You think I have no use
Your nice one day
Then your attitude changes
You’re nasty and mean
And act like you listen
But all you hear is your voice
Thinking that you’re right
When half the time you’re wrong
You think I’m ok
You think the next day will always be the same
You think you know who I am
Just by the way I act
You think I’m always bored and tired
You think by forcing me to do things you see fit
Will make me happy
Will make me submit
You even think that you can change me
Stop making me do the things I do
But me being me
I’ll just ignore your ways
Because one of these days
I’ll even be better than you.
End
