Who Do I Have To Be

Who do I have to be...

To get recognized

To be understood

To be respected

To be cared for or loved

Who do I have to be...

Life is full of stories and what's next

The questions posed by what you go through are in worst cases terrible.

Tears and cold hearts are the results of painful actions as if cutting off the world makes things easy to manage.

Who do I have to be to find happy with a past like mine written in sadness.

How many times does your heart shatter before you no longer can piece it back together?

I'm asking questions looking for answers because I remember everything

To sleep at night and relive a time my innocence was taken as if it happens again just as fresh as the first day.

How can I get you to understand I don't know how to be an asshole it just comes natural but see it never outshines the fact that I'm gentle.

I grew up on "Just to get close to you girllll" so I look for those moments baby but these days its crazy that when you say can we chill it means I want to have sex and Netflix is just the additive to get the girl to your room as if its too far fetched to be interested in trying to get to know you as if you aren't worth it but if you wasn't you would have never caught my interest

Respect that I search for love and I know myself I work hard everyday just to maintain who I am Its refreshing to live for yourself with no need to impress others

But back to the first question who do I have to be...

I may not want to because I've been hurt so much in the past but still I couldn't be no one else but me
