You tried so hard to shape me, but I won't be broken. This is reality, not a fucking game. I'm taking control of my own life, not yours. I suggest you do the same.
What did I do to deserve this? I've never done you wrong. You brought me pain I cannot fight. It's been hurting for too long.
Falling away from this Earth. It's all you do. It's all you know, but you think it's okay to take some bodies with you. It's the only thing that makes you feel safe.
I'm so sorry I'm not who you want me to be, but this is just who I am.
I'm not changing just so you can have the upper hand. Quit trying to change the world that you live in. You're lucky enough to be unique and fit in.
What happened to that smile from your childhood years? Was it burned and then scarred by your teenage fears? I know happiness seems fake to you, but keep the anger to yourself. Don't turn to others just to give them your hell.
You tried so hard to shape me, but I won't be broken. This is reality, not a fucking game. I'm taking control of my own life, not yours. I suggest you do the same.
I wanna set aside the past, but you just won't let it go. I can't believe you don't see this world as a home. It's the only I home I know. It's the only home I need. It's only place that I will ever want to be. Why can't you think the same? Why can't you be like me? I'm starting to become the person I don't want to be. I'm becoming you.
You used to stand for yourself, but now you're balanced on me. Where would you be without me underneath?
It's time you finally meet the ground.
Stop hiding in the dark.
It's time for you to see
You can't change a thing,
So stand on your feet.
Face the fucking world.
Be a man of strength
I'm taking control
Of my life, not yours.
I suggest you do the same.
