Eyes tear, lashes dampen my cheeks.
My face flushes with sadness and pain.
Why do I have to live for you.
Revolve my life around you.
Why can't I live for me.
Why can't you accept me.
Complete with flaws.
Even those I don't want to change.
The same you want to change to "better" me.
Doing it for my own good.
I'll thank you when I'm older.
Why can't I have happiness without regulations.
I don't want to be a project.
I want to be an equal.
Do things of my own accord.
Without fear of hostility or disapproval from you.
Acceptance, love, perpetually.
Not dependant on my actions.
Which stem from you.
Why can't I live for me.
