I swear I've always tried

To change me

But nothing ever made you 

Any less disappointed on me.


My heart is sinking

And so am I

I feel like a crumpled up piece of paper

Under this inexplicable pressure.


I know that I am full of flaws

That never leave a chance to disappoint you.

But do you really know who I really was?

Before you changed everything for me.


Can you please understand me?

For once can you please hear my sobs?

Do you forget that I am a human too

Whose feelings are also true.


I think I blame myself a lot

But I deserve that.

Somewhere, deep down, I know

It is my fault.


I should have tried harder.

I should have made you proud.

I am sorry for being loud.

I am sorry for disappointing you.


I promise I'll try to change myself, again

I'll hide my hideous flaws.

I hope this time you'll be proud of me.

I hope you'll accept me the way I once was.
