They try so hard to tell me how to live my life.
To tell me how to live it right.
To show me the way to live in Christ.
They try to tell me the way I live is wrong.
They try to tell me not to grow up so fast.
Yet they try to make me grow up over night.
They bring my down
When they claim they only want to bring me up.
They try to break my spirt
But my spirit can't be broken
They want to brainwash me into perfection
But I'm perfect the way I am.
They try to tell me that who I am is wrong.
They don't understand that who I am is right.
They say I'm just go young to understand.
I say you're just to blind to see my plan.
They say my plans don't matter.
Then they say it's my life and I need to find my own way.
They say only one person knows they way for me to go,
yet the are constantly telling me where to go.
I try to make them see that there is nothing wrong with me.
But all they see is what they perseive, as insecurities.
They see my flaws and call them out
not knowing I see them too and love them so.
They want to change the very Esecence of who I am.
But they break me.
They can't tame me.
They can't change me.

- Description: This is about how my family is trying to make me live my life the way they believe is right.They've made mistakes that made them who they are and I need to make my own. Life is a try and fail process.They are really religious and I'm Bisexual. See the problem? They don't know but because of all the news coverage on gay rights and such they talk about it often and I feel my heart break every time because they'll never accept me but at the same time I'll never change

- Sounds like my life~ I really like this, Its very understandable, and it explains you. All parents want their kids to be the way they could never be, And end up tarring them down. Some parents don't even care, Be the way you want to be, Be you. ^^ 5/5.
