Apologies, I am me
Dinonymous


I don't desire for this, I'm sorry for being me
Fragility and cowardice-in my eyes you will see
I am soft and timid, please teach me how to be-
Strong, resilient and tough, how I long to be

A million times I've tried to seem so strong
A million times I failed to oppose the storm
Guess failures' ground is my constant home
Dragged down by your knives-like words of scorn

I'll never blame your criterion, I only got some words
Myself is in fault, for disappointing the world
All that you want for me are hard to afford
It sucks that my limits are the root of discord

I can not leap, I can't soar high
I can not fly and reach for the sky
I am a human and do have limitations
I also bleed when I failed your expectations

I do cry when I fail, it feels like being a frail
And failures have no spots in everyone's tale
I wish you could be proud, give me an applause
But as long as I am me, I will always lose

I only can be me, and for that, apologies
I'm a fragile glass, that shatter into debris
Weak, imbecile, and foolish, you can address me
But I can't be like them, Apologies, I am me
