My Role Model

The burning sensation had you running back for more It opens up a whole world or possibilities to explore You become tolerate to the pain of others And a woman I wish I didn’t have for a mother You try to kill away all the memories and make yourself believe But when you wake, you remember everything and realize the hurt will never leave You’re stuck in this apathetic moment, while I’m still growing up You don’t remember my jokes or my secrets You only fill me with disgust You never came to see my play, when I got the lead role Or even a single soccer game at my school The pain inside is anchored and incredibly bare I can no longer spread my wings in your polluted air The fumes from your failures are suffocating I must break free from your chains and learn to fly There is no more waiting In leaving I must let go of my past and give my wounds time to heal It has stolen every part of you I could have had And now there is nothing left to steal But in everything you are, is everything I will never be It has shaped a Role Model, don’t you see?
