I never said I wasn't difficult,
I mostly want it my way.
Sometimes I talk back or pout,
And don't have much to say.
I've been known to yell 'so what'
When I'm stepping out of bounds,
I want you there for me
Yet, I dont want you around.
I wish i had more privacy,
And never had to be alone.
I want to run away
But im afraid to leave my home.
I'm to tired to be responsible
But I wish I were the boss,
I want to blaze new trials
Im terrified to get lossed.
I wish an answer would come everytime I asked you 'why'
I wish you wer'nt a know it all
Why do you question me when I'm bored?
I don't want to be crossed examined,
I hate to be ignored.
I know I shuffle messages like cards,
Some to show and some to hide,
but if you think I'm hard to live,
you should try me on the inside.
