don't look at me like that.
all of your eyes gazing into my soul.
like a deer in headlights, i stand.
you act as if i'm putting on a show,
a performance.
this is funny to you,
you're full of laughter
i'm not on television,
so stop,
please, i beg of you
don't break me down any farther,
i don't need this,
i don't want this.
make it end, make it stop
i surrender.
i thought i could stand a chance,
against them,
but i can't and i never will.
i was foolish to think so.
i'm sorry, for being a failure.
i'm sorry, for being a disgrace.
i'm sorry, that i'm me
