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.
