New Chapter
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.
