You tell me how to act in public, scowling when I laugh.
You tell me how to dress up for you, but I won't kiss your arse.
You tell me how to cry gracefully, shaking your head at me.
You tell me how to hold in my anger, but it's you that will not see!
You tell me how to get drunk properly, while acting like your sober.
You tell me how to practice kissing, and how to say it's over.
You tell me things but I won't listen, not a word is taken in.
Cos I am me and I will not change, so you can control my "sin".
I smile and laugh some more at you, cos there is nothing you can say,
To make me ever abandon myself, to let you throw me away.
How dare you tell me things like this, I know that I'm not perfect,
But you tell me things cos you're the worst but now I know I'm worth it.
You tell me how to talk to people, but I learned that when I was two.
You told me how to write this poem, but did I listen to you?
You tell me how to be more confident, but you try to bring me down.
You tell me how to pretend I'm smiling, when I want to frown.
I listen to the words you say, but do nothing to satisfy,
Cos dear I will not throw away, my dignity and my pride.
You start to choke on all your words, blood rushing to your temples,
But I just smile and laugh at you, so much it shows my dimples.
Dear oh dear, you did not succeed, I'm me, I will not change!
You try to tell me...but I cut you off cos you suck and you're deranged!
