Ok this is another song that i have yet to put to music.


I'm tired of being who you want me to be
at the price of who i am
you rip out the soul in me
while pretending you give a damn

I'm sick of this perfection
you always ask of me
i've bled all that i have to give
but you want something i can never be

I've killed myself inside
all for you
forsaken my dreams again
all for you
i've cried my last tears
to try and drown this pain

my mind feels like it's drowning
and i don't know how to swim
i try to keep my head above
but you push me under again

So i'll breathe in deep all of my hate
contempt for all you are
you don't know me so don't even try
i've already slipped to far

whisper in my ear
tell me i'm wrong
when you've been the one
screwing me all along

i'm breaking out
i'm leaving here
i'm through with you
i'm through with fear

I'm turning a new leaf
starting my life again
and this time around
myself is all i need

Only problem is that you are too talented to write songs

People want just what they can sing too, payola as well

You are writing poetry, but with a lot of talent

oft times when I think of regret, this is the only regret I've had....wishing people would allow and understand, we all need to be who we are...who we want to be...and where we need to go.  I've spent so much of my life, trying to please others...as I believe a lot of people do...and now realize, if they love you less for not being who you are, then they'll never understand, it's not fair to try and control another's life, personality.  We all possess needs to change within...but those changes can only come from within ourselves and the want of it for a better life...no one can force it on us...and if they try...and we allow them to do so, in the end, it will only sever closeness and great admiration.  

Sorry for the soap box, it's my emotional mood this morn...

A great depiction of what not to do...never ever compromise identity.  

Hugs to you
