I was always sorry I couldn't be who you wanted me to be,
I cannot help it if you don't like me.
I want you to love me because of my personality,
Please understand my life and my ways of living.
I wished I could be someone perfect just like you,
You expected me to be you and I'm ashamed, that’s what is true.
I cannot live a life that is unlike me,
Just to make you happy, can't you see?
Day and night I do my best,
To make you happy, not myself.
My concentration has paid off greatly,
But you want more; it hurts me so much.
You get abusive when I don't do well,
I understand the pressure is what makes things so good.
But nowadays I am always crying right in front of you,
Yet you don't care; it's what the people care.
I try so much and yet I fail,
To make you happy; I feel so guilty.
I don't know what I have to do,
To catch up with you and the good things you accomplish.
I though you were perfect, but now I prove myself wrong,
Cause all you did was cause me harm.
You didn't do anything to make me happy,
Even though I'm your daughter and I love you, my mother, no matter what you do.
