I am not you
I refuse to be
Which in the end is giving you what you want

Because you expect me to be a mess up like you
I refuse to be
And so I’m not
Which you wanted me not to be
So there you go

Because you expect me to be just like my other parent
I refuse to be
And so I’m not
Which you both are happy about
So there you go

Because you expect me to fail just like the my prior siblings
I refuse to
And so I don’t
Which you wanted me not to do
So there you go

And I know I’m playing right into your hands
It soothes my mind to know
That I am not what you expect of me
Even if it leaves me in tears
Just to prove you wrong
I
   Refuse
     To be
   What you
    Say I am
