Dear Mom.

"Be happy but not too happy"

"I dont wanna see you cry"

Is nothing that i do good enough?

What else do you want me to try?

 

I've already been gone so long

Now I'm taking pills

You're crazy if you think I'm fine

Don't threaten me with free will

 

I'll break before I bend

If you don't let me go my way

Just let me be myself

What more can I say?

 

It's too late to really change

For me the damage is done

We all can see the hurt you give

I'm not the only one

 

Go connect with nature and be happy

While you're away from home

Don't worry 'bout me I'll be fine

Because I've always been alone
