I won't bend.
I won't break.
Don't you say I'm a mistake.
I know it's a lie.
I just want to know why.
Why do you never have time?
Why am I always last in line?
Why aren't I enough?
Why do I always have to be tough?
Don't you know you're the reason I am who I am?
Stop screwing around!
Step up!
For once be a man!
Be the person i need you to be,
and stop blaming all that goes wrong on me.

It is better to write for yourself and have no audience than write for your audience and have no self.
