You never tell me how good I’ve done,
You always hear how I messed up.
Failed that test, told a white lie, turned gay.
I’m not perfect in your eyes,
But you don’t see how hard I tried.
I grew up dreaming, hoping, yearning
To be better than expected,
But in your eyes I’m just a failure.
I try not to cry, I try to be strong,
But my emotions break me up,
When all I’ve heard is how you never wanted me.
