Your Supposed To


You are supposed to be here, 

You are supposed to care,

Not just sitting there watching tear after tear,

You are supposed to help, your supposed to mend,

Your supposed to be my very best friend.

I grow older,

Im getting bolder,

You hurt me day after day,

Wont listen to what I need to say.

I want to be me,

You want me to be you,

Just leave me alone,

I can not stand you.

I want to run, so far away,

Somewhere I can not see this place,

Try to forget,

The life I would leave behind,

Try to forget you, who ruined my life.

Pain I feel deep in my chest,

I am not enough to be your best.
