You

You said you're tired,

You said I never did anything for you,

You said all I did was nothing,

And I made you feel worthless.

Well news for you.

I am also tired,

I feel worse to never do anything for you,

That's why I feel like I am nothing,

And definitely I am worthless.

 

Every time you complain,

Every time you made things all about you,

It made me feel how incompetent I am to this world.

It made me feel like my life is worth nothing.

It made me feel that I am just a burden.

And because of that doubts about living filled my mind,

What if I'm not here?

What if I was not born?

What if I didn't exist?

 

I always thought maybe their life is better,

Maybe they're so much happier,

Maybe I'm just hindrance to their peaceful life,

Maybe they're better off without me.

And through that I wish I was never here.

I wish I was never born,

I wish I never existed.

I wish I was just someone passing in their life,

Like a bad wind who could be forgotten anytime.

 

You don't know that I'm also tired,

Finding the will to keep on and live.

I never did anything for you,

But even if I tried to it was never enough.

I did something for you,

I fight hard to live this life!

You said I am the pessimist one,

But because of you I become one!

You make me feel like you're always the better one!

 

If you were me you could've done something worthwhile.

I am nothing compared to you,

I am nothing compared to the things you've done before,

I am nothing compared to how you solve your problems,

I am nothing compared to the challenges you'd gone through,

I am nothing.

But I never wanted my life to be compared to you.

You're one of the people I look up to,

I admire everything about you.

 

But please accept the reality that I have my own life.

I will never be like you.

I can't be you.

The more you compare yourself to me, 

The more I feel like I am nothing.

It's not always about you,

Everyone can't be like you.

Please help me to be someone else,

Help me to be someone I could be.

 

It's not that I hate being you,

I just hate that I’m being you by being no one.

You know I love you,

But it's time to admit the fact that this world is not all about you.

Even if I’m young I also have struggles that I lived by every day,

I also won many battles despite my age,

I also did something worthwhile on my own.

Please notice those sometimes, 

Rather than comparing yourself to me.

 

Your life will be my guide,

Your battles will be the formula in solving my own problem,

Your strength will be my power to overcome the storms.

I need you to support me as I go on with my life,

I need you to help me find the person I supposed to be,

I need you to be my teacher of life.

Because my life will never be like yours,

And will never be compared to yours.

Because my life is just and will forever be my life.
