I can't breathe beneath your expectations.
I can't find myself in your shadow.
I can't carry myself under your burdens.
I cant be myself locked behind your goals.
I can't hold myself up when weighed down by your mistakes.
I cant believe in myself when held back by your fears.
I can't dream for myself when thrown away by your actions.
I cant forgive myself when I'm no longer sure which sins are mine.
I cant be you.
