You Poem by Lissa Parks

You can't change me...

You can't tell me what to do...
You can't tell me what kind of person I should be...
You don't know me...
You don't understand me...
You don't know how I feel...

You don't know how hurt I am...
You don't respect me...
You treat me like garbage...
You make my soul dead inside of me...
You make me feel worthless....
You make me not feel good about myself...

You make me feel hopeless...
You make me feel like I should die...
You make my heart break...
You can't fix me...
You can't tell me to get over it...because I can't...
You can't be there for me...
You can't help me...

You make me feel angry...
You make me upset...
You make me cry at night...
You make me scared....

You make me want to run away...
You make me feel like a horrible person.
You make me not want to be with you.

You can't be my friend...
You can't be nice to me....
You can't hug me to make me feel better...
You can't tell me its gonna be okay.
You can't tell me to get help.

You can't imagine how hurt I am...
You can't make me smile no more...
You can't tell me I am not good enough...
You can't drag me down with you...

You can't and WON'T change me! ! !
If I want to change something, and if it has to be you that has to go then so be it! ! !
I deserve someone that will be supportive,
have fun with, not to make me feel like a low life person that should commit suicide...
The world is cruel enough...And I want someone to be there when I fall, to pick me up and say let's try this again.

Depression is a battle everyday and I need someone to make my life and days better! ! !
I am a human being too, I should be treated like one!
