Villainized

Tried To Be, Failed To Be

I tried to be good

Listening to my parents

But I always failed

Their words filled my ears

Like a melody of truth

But I chose to stray

I wanted to please

To live up to their high hopes

But I couldn't do it

My rebellious heart

Refused to be tamed or bound

By their strict commands

I yearned to break free

To carve my own path in life

Away from their hold

They raised me with love

But their rules felt like chains

Binding me tightly

I longed to be wild

To run free in the unknown

Without their guidance

I craved adventure

To taste the forbidden fruit

And feel alive again

I tried to fit in

To be the perfect child they

Always wanted me to be

But I felt suffocated

By their constant demands

And expectations

I wanted to scream

To let out the rage within

And be myself at last

I know they mean well

And only want what's best for me

But I can't conform

I am a rebel

A free spirit that longs to soar

And break all the rules

I tried to be good

To listen to their advice

But I failed each time

I am not perfect

I am flawed and full of faults

But I am still me

So I'll keep on trying

To find my own way in life

And follow my heart
