they think i'm begging for attentions
but i'm really begging for help

there's misery painted all over my face
but it's like the paint's invisible

they want me to get off my phone
but my life is on the internet

they think i should have more drive
but i've already lost all inspiration

they tell me not to show them attitude
my attitude is my voice

they want me to do better
but i'm doing the best i can

they think i'm not trying hard enough
the pressure's building up

they want me to be a better child
but i won't change for them

they stand for all that i'm against
i want to live by my own standards

they say such things so carelessly
every word punctures my self-esteem

they judge me so much
so i judge them back

they do what they say i shouldn't
they are so hypocritical

they're arguments make no sense
because they are so unreasonable

civilized conversations with them
always turn into fights or scoldings

they don't trust me
well i don't trust them

they no longer believe in me
i've lost hope in myself too
