I’m not going to conform into what you want
I’m sick of being taught
I cant be perfect
I cant even try
It just brings me down
I know what you want
And I try to be that
But how can I be what you want me to be?
When I know I’m not
I don’t care how much you mean to me
I’m sick of doing exactly what you need
I know you want the gratification that I’m great
But maybe I’m not
I want to be who I am
I don’t want to be like you
I don’t want my life to be perfect
I don’t care I just want to be me
And in todays society
Its so hard to be free
But I can try
But there are always stop signs in my way
Whistling my life away
I cant believe that the two people I trust most in the world
wouldn’t want me to be me
I hate my life
Because it isn’t fair
All the ones that are older don’t care
They control you
They think they are great
In age they have wisdom
But they are missing so much
I know more than them about today
And today is what matters
They all stick in the past
And they don’t look at whats here

not bad..once again some excess words or lines that could have made the piece flow better with their abscence.
