Let you down
I guess I’m a disappointment
Cause I cant do anything right.
You lecture me,
Tell me how to live my life.
I know you mean well
But what you want for me
I dont want for myself.
But here we are
Face to face
And I’m trying to figure out
How do i tell you
Who i really am.
How do i make you understand.
Six years in colleges
And still haven’t graduated.
Yeah I’m still moving forward.
But you’re down my throat.
“You need an internship”
I dont want one though.
“You won’t find a full time job”
But Who said I wanted one.
I dont fit the mould.
And I have no intentions to conform.
This is all i want
To write
And speak into your life.
Tell you how i feel
And what I’m dealing with.
I dont want your 9-5 job.
I want to travel
And speak the truth.
So before you tell me
Oh that’s unrealistic,
I’ve been listening
To you say that my whole life.
But your realistic way
It’s not working out.
My passions are what drive me.
Not your unrealistic expectations of me.
Cause I cant do anything right.
