I am a sinner.

I was born this way.

I mean, look at my parents.

They aren’t perfect.

Everyone anticipated so much,

But you see, that’s the issue.

The more skeptics I had,

The more I endeavored.

When I deluded everyone,

That’s when I genuinely quit.

I relinquished.

However, the game quit on me too.

I’m not the girl everyone presumes

And honestly, that’s not my problem.

I’m not living for you,

I was put here for me.

You can be as disappointed as a drill sergeant

Who was disobeyed.

I don’t care.

I just don’t care anymore

So leave me alone

I can’t be like the girl you once knew.

This piece is about the people in my home town who expected me to be the person they wanted me to be instead of who I really am.
