Me


Why do I have to be the person I'm not? Why can't I love me the way I am? Why do I've to always hide my tears beneath a smile? Why do I always keep thinking of ways to fix my past? Why can't I behave the way I want to? Why can't I wear the clothes I want to? Why am I always being compared to everyone else? Why do I feel guilty for things I haven't done? Why am I always the one who suffers? And the most important, "Why can't I be independent? "
