                                              i thought they'd figured out by now
that i'm not the child that they want me to be
                          to them, i'm just a disappointment, a failure, a nuisance.
                          what they don't realize, is that i've been like this for years. i just used to be better at hiding it.

                          but now that they're realizing it, they're pointing out my each and every flaw. i know i'm not the perfect little child they want me to be.
                          i know i'm not perfect. i know i have too many flaws by their standards.
                          but can't you just let me be, for once in my life? let me live by my own rules, and let me be free?
                          they claim to love me. they say that they're just looking out for me. but is this what love really is? them being unsatisfied with me, and me feeling miserable?
