I cant be you sorry

I cant be you sorry

A Poem by Shelby Taylor

Even when I succeed
You don`t acknowledge me
Even when I fail
All of my efforts are to no avail
It`s not easy
Trying to be like you
I`m not a copy of you
I can`t do all the things that you do
I try but I cant get by
Inside I feel like I `m dying
Even though that I `m trying
This is not me
I want to be what I choose and desire to be
It`s the complete opposite of you but I push while you pull
And I cant deny that I dont want to live this lie
I want to make my own choices
Want to say my words and be heard in my own voice
Why can`t I be free of your identity?
It`s not for me and not what I want to be
Why can`t I just make my own destiny?
All I want is to just be me
I can`t take this anymore
I`ll no longer let my attempts fall to the floor
I`m not going to be something fake
There`s more to myself that i want to make
It`s time I get away from your influence
Become something new not by coincedence and finally start just being m
