People

They try to

Get you to do

Your best

But

They dont want me

To do well

For me

They want me

To do well

For them

To please them

Not for me

For my sake

No

Its for them

To feel like

They

Accomplished something

By making me

Succeed.

There comes a time

When you get

Sick of it

Sick of trying

And doing

What they want

I dont want

To please them

I want to do

What pleases me

What makes me

Feel accomplished

For me

I have to

Want it

For my sake

So you constantly

Picking on me

And trying to

Help me

It wont work

I dont need

Help

Or special treatment

If i really wanted

To do well

It wouldnt be

You who controls that

I know me

Better than

You ever well

Even try

I will do me

What i can do

Not

What you want

For your ego.
