I can’t be a perfect child
I can’t take the pressure that you put on me
I can’t stand the way that you treat me
I can’t help but hate the way that you look down on me
I can’t help but hate you more every time that you forget to tell me important stuff and then tell me that you thought I already knew
I can’t help who I am so stop telling me that being me is embarrassing you
I can’t take the fact that I’m the only one of the three of us that has pressure put upon me
I can’t take the way that you criticize everything that I say and do
I can’t change myself to fit the structures that you want me to fit
I can’t take the way that your personality changes so that everyone thinks that your perfect
I can’t take the way you pin all of your problems on me
I can’t continue to watch every little step I take in the hopes that you won’t blow up on me
I won’t stop being me
I won’t change the people who are close to me and love me for who I am
I won’t pretend to be something I’m not
I won’t continue to say exactly what you want me to say
I won’t be your puppet
I won’t be your doll
I won’t be that little girl who does exactly as she’s told
I won’t follow the path that you set for me when I can see my own
I won’t cry anymore over the fact that you have to compare me to everyone else but myself
I won’t become part of your pity party
I won’t let the guilt trips get to me
I won’t let you manipulate me anymore
I’m not sure where I’m trying to get in life
But where ever it is, I’ll get there on my terms
On my will
Alone
