i'm sick of it

i'm sick of it all 

sick of walking in your shoes

sick of living in your shadow

sick of running on your path

sick of being nothing 

but a copy of you

because i'm not you

i was never meant to be you

so stop trying to choke me with the ghosts of your past

stop trying to strangle your throat till my voice screams in the same way as yours

you can't force me to be who i'm not

ever felt the feeling of having what you wanted all crumble to ruins in front of your unseeing, glassy eyes?

get used to it

you may not see it but i am my best 

without the shackles of your image that

restrain me, tie me, bind me, torture me

i don't need you to play my game for me

so just stop

let me go

let me be free

let me live
