A Plea to the Unhappy Person

Why don't you just put a smile on?
Why do you have to be so angry?
Are you so crazed to think this is all my fault,
the reason you are so unhappy...
You have always been the blameless victim
and I have always wanted to save you
But here you are with a million chances to
do a million different things, and you do not
try.
I have wanted to help you but you have done
nothing to help yourself.
I feel like I have somewhere failed you
and myself
I have failed myself because I have become
like everyone else in your eyes
I am...
the bad guy
The one who is greedy and unkind
I am...
Your father (both of them), your Grandmother, our mom 
But why can't you see?
Your hatred means nothing to me.
I cannot stand the way you waste your life
and throw away your once-healthy lungs
You make excuses as to why you can't do this
or that
I don't despise you because you fail
but hate the fact that you give up before you
even begin.
I know I procrastinate a lot
but not as much as you
you cannot put off living!
I feel like you think my success
is disgusting
Maybe you'd love me if I were
like you.
I could smoke weed day and night bitching
and moaning and doing nothing about it
I may not be fun and interesting to you
but at least I love the way I live and
I know who I am, unlike you.
Do you ever know who you are? Really?
Take a look in the mirror...You aren't there
You cannot find yourself by merely looking on the outside.
Look deep inside and you find lying there a familiar face
but not your own...
It's time to get away from you
I've worshipped you since childhood
Even then you'd kick me down and try
to smother me with a pillow.
Now we are all grown up and there are no more
pillows
Instead you try to smother my good
side. the one I became when you were gone
A happy, laughing girl that never gives up
on dreams and love
