I stood there, struggling to breath

I could not accept  what was in front of me

The fact that I am never good enough

A pain that runs deep 

All these expectations that are so hard to achieve

Everyone wants me to be who they want me to be

But why can't they just accept me for me?

Why can't I be me?

I know at times I can be stubborn

Sometimes I can be ignorant

And make stupid decisions while in the moment

But don't we all

And all these accusations about me

Stuff I could never do because it would kill me internally

I´ll take ownership and own it and raise my hand if it's me

Just remember though, I am only a boy

A human being.
