Help me understand


I don't understand what’s wrong with me

Why am I so hard to love?

Why do I ruin everything I touch?

Why do I push everyone away?

But most of all

Why can’t I be who they want me to be?

Why can’t I make them proud?

Why can’t I be more like them?

Why doesn't she want me?

Why is she always leaving?

Why can’t he be proud of me?
