Forced upon me


I'm caught up in your expectations As you try to make live your dreams I'm causing you so much frustration Yet you only want the best for me You want me to show more interest To always have a big bright smile Be that perfect little princess But I'm not that type of child There's a storm stirring inside of me It's getting harder to breathe As our world's collide It's hurts deep inside Just let me be who I am It's what I need you to understand And I hope the pain goes away It's torturing me, and I can't break free And I cry and cry but I can't break free No one hears my silent scream
