You call me

You call me too cold

When I'm trying to hold back the tears you cause with the abuse you put me through every day

You call me too emotional

When I show you something deep inside me when I finally am confident enough to show you who I am

You call me shallow

When I decide that I can't be hurt anymore when I decide that the world is not worth the pain I feel

You call me too deep

When I share what's inside my heart and I trust you again yet this is not enough

You call me too nice

When I try to be kind to a terrible person like yourself

You call me a terrible person

When I say what I mean and I mean it when I say you are wrong

You call me too obedient

When I do as you ask when I have had enough and am willing to do as I'm told just to make it stop

You call me rebellious

When I do what I want finally not caring what you think. I do as my mind has been screaming at me to do and that is when I be myself

Where does it end?

Is it me

Am i so terrible that you can't stand me being myself

Is it you trying to fix me in a tiny box where I don't belong

Am i toxic to those around me or are you the one making me radioactive

Why can't we stop hurting others around us

Why can't I make you happy

Why do I feel that I need to be perfect for you when we both know that is impossible

Why do I feel that I need to be mistaken when you need to be right even though we both know I'm right

Is it me trying to hard

Or is it you always saying that I'm not good enough?
