Rebellion

I can’t trust you to define me
To tell me what it is to succeed
Because last time I did that
It was almost the end of me

I know you don’t understand me
I suppose it’s the way it has to be
My actions will not please you
I’m not who you wanted me to be

And I’ll pray to God we understand
That I can’t live to please you

Another failure in your eyes
Leaves a shiver down my spine
Because last time I felt that
I almost took my life

I’ve changed the way I look at life
You’re such a smaller part
I’m sorry you’ll never read this
To understand my heart

And I’ll pray to God we understand
That I can’t live to please you

I pray to God to give me strength
To never live to please you
