Somewhere
Between pleasing you,
I surrendered
Me.

I think I’m happy
But shouldn’t you know?
What’s deep inside
Deep in your soul.
I thought I healed
I thought I was whole.
But you can’t fix broken
Guess now I know

At first I wanted to please you,
I gave in just to appease you.
But your requests were at my expense
And your complaints began to stretch.
It wasn’t just the things I did “wrong”
But who I am, and what I said
Then you changed what I had meant,
And put crazy worries in my head...
