Never What's Expected

I try so hard.
You look at me as though you don't know who I am.
Do you think you're better than me?
You're not.
You know I'm right.
You know it to be true.
I cry when I should be laughing.
I want to die when I should live.
Life is so long.
Yet it passes by so quickly.
Do I give up?
Do I stop fighting?
Do I change to make you happy?
No, I don't.
Because I can't.
I won't... I refuse.
Accept me for who I am!
You're not being fair.
You're unreasonable.
I'm tired of trying to do what's expected of me so adamently.
I'm taking my own advice.
I'm living my own life.
I'm tired of never being what's expected.
