"Another Lonely Mile"

It seems as if everything I do
Is wrong to you;
You seem to disapprove me--
I don't know what to do...

But I keep them all bottled up--
Show no emotion or fear,
Keep a blank face,
A facade so clear.

Sometimes I wonder,
How long should I keep this up?
Because honestly,
I just want this to stop.

I hate being not me!
But I doubt you'd understand,
Because you judge
Before you even look, beforehand.

No freedom, no liberty,
Not even a room to breathe!
I'm suffocating slowly...
But I'd doubt you'd believe,

That I'm like a puppet broken down,
Since you cut off my strings;
Disabled from my true passion,
For all your "what seems".

I can't even talk back'
Because you'd get mad at me again;
And I'm tired of you telling me,
To play pretend.

To be the ideal you wanted,
To be that perfection you dreamed,
But I'm not perfect, alright?
I'll never be what you deem.

You don't even know
That I'm having hard time;
You don't seem to even want to know
What's in this heart of mine.

You keep telling me that you know,
But you're not looking hard enough...
Can't you see? That's not it!
Will you ever wake up?

I don't even have someone to talk to;
You're supposed to be that someone,
But you don't listen;
You treat me like a different person.

I don't know how long
I could keep this up within me;
So please, just stop!
You're killing me softly...

No, I won't cry...
Shush...I'll keep up that smile
"Don't cry..." I cooed myself to sleep
As I walked another lonely mile.
