Why can't i be me??

by Intimate Ending   Oct 31, 2005


You wonder why I'm upset,
and why i get depressed.
when you isolate me,
and make my feelings get suppressed.

you wonder why i hurt,
and why i never talk.
when you never let me speak,
and watch my every move like a hawk.

why can't you back off?
i know I'm the baby,
but I'm 17, and finished school.
is it because I'm like you maybe?

or do i fill you with disgust,
when i tell lies of what I've done?
i do it to creep you out,
to make it so you haven't won.

I'm a teenager trying to find my way,
I'm trying to find who i am.
but i get pushed into a corner,
and my dreams get slammed.

when i do something different,
you look at me like I'm not yours.
you make me feel uncomfortable to be near you,
like you bought the wrong parts from the stores.

why can't you let me explore?
let me make my own mistakes?
i want boundaries,
but your suffocating me!

i want to find out who i am,
and not have you judge me.
your my family, why can't you accept me??
