Why do I do this?
To both you and myself?
Why do I crave your approval?
Why do I need your respect?
Can't I just be strong?
And move on?
Nope. I still need someone to tell me I have potential.
I still need someone to let me know i'll make it big one day.
I still need someone to give me that little but of encouragement when I'm too hard on myself.
I still need someone to sit me down and say, "I believe in you".
I still need someone to give me advice.
I still need someone to look up to.
I respect you so much.
We had our differences but all in all, you're still my role model.
But to you, I'm nothing.
Hurtful words roll off your tongue so beautifully.
I don't understand!
One day you think I'm amazing
The next, you're telling me im just mediocre
I may say your words are empty to me
....But I hang on to every last
Sy-lla-ble
