So much of what I want to be
You keep taking away from me
Everything I've tried to be
To live like you
Is to live like a hypocrite
Not wanting to be judged
But still always judging
You've tried to turn me into you
Suck me into that hypocritical world of you
For awhile you dragged me into it
But now I'm just sick and tired of your she it
Lately I've been more like who I want to be
But I guess it's just not good enough for you
I've been crying out for your help
But no longer will you come to my rescue
Now the hardest times of my life have come
And I need you now the most
But it seems no matter how hard I try
I'm still just talking to a ghost
And you will then come to me and say that
Everyone makes mistakes
But all of these mistakes are adding up to the fact that
My own life I've been wanting to take
So I'll sit here on my own
Trying to get away from you
Away from the mistakes and all the lies
For all of my life, I'll never be like you [comments] => 2 [counter] => 172 [topic] => 61 [informant] => lonelypoet08 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

Never Be Like You
