What Do You Want From Me?

What Do You Want From Me?

I don’t know what you want from me

You don’t want me to fail but you never help me succeed

You want me to be happy but you always make me livid

You want me to join you but you always leave me behind

I don’t know what you want from me

You want me to “be myself” but seem ashamed of me

You want me to be supportive but exclude me from your life

You want me to tell you that your beautiful but your heart makes you hideous

I know what you want from me

You want me to tell you that I love you but I can’t.
