Be yourself they say
Be this or that, they say
Sorry I can't
Can't be what you want
What you think I should be
What others say I am
A daughter
A sister
A coworker
A person
You took that away
Your words echo in my head
Even years after I last heard your voice
Or seen your face
Yeah I know your dead
Nearly 8 years since your death
Almost 25 since I last saw you
Heard your words
"Worthless, useless, a complete screw-up"
Why didn't I give up when I had the chance?
Why did I fight?
I'll never know
