I can't
  I can't
    I can't
be all the things you demand of me
lover
  friend
    fool

I can't
  I can't
    I can't
be more than you expect from me
mother
  student
    poet

I can't
  I can't
    I can't
be everything but who is "me"
tired
  disheartened
    used

I can't
  I can't
    I just can't

Oh Paula!! If you only knew how close you came to how I am feeing right now. I love this.

Remember me with a smile on your face, or please don't remember me at all.

The title pulled me in...

Very heartfelt..
