I don't want to be
Your perfect child
Because I'm not
I'm not
And you can't understand
That it's YOUR fault
You are not a failure
Because I am me
I have already sacrificed
My will to you
My choices
Are the clones of yours
Why force me
To sacrifice the only thing I have of me?
My pain
To your cause of my forced happiness
At times
I do not wish to be joyful
But I am
For you
I am happy
For those who can not stand
To see me cry
So I do not shed tears
For fear of you thinking yourself failures
For fear of my heart
Losing control in your presence
I'm not the perfect child
But I try to make you believe otherwise
For your sanity
And lack of mine
