I know I'm not perfect;
I'm sure I have many flaws,
But am I so terrible
That you can't go five minutes
Without telling me something
That I've inevitably done wrong?
Sure, I'm a bit messy,
But by no means a slob,
And maybe I'm a computer bum,
But at least I don't sit in my room
Staring at the walls
Until my mind begins to rot.
Maybe you just hate me,
Or maybe I really am
Such a horrible girl.
Never mind my good grades,
And my creativity,
And the skills you could care less about.
You don't want to support me;
You want me to be you
Well, screw that.
I'm me, with my own personality,
And there's nothing I would hate more
Than becoming your twin
I know you're not easy to please,
I know you're never happy
With anyone or anything,
And yet your criticism still stings.
Maybe you're never happy,
But why take it out on me?
I hate you for causing me
So much suffering and pain.
There are times when
I'm ready to scream
When I can't figure out
Just what's wrong with me.
I cry late at night
When I know you can't see.
I'll never admit my defeat
To the undying enemy,
But I wish you would realize,
You've broken me.
