Too many demands, too little room to breathe.
Now!
Change.  Do this.  Don’t do that.
Be different.
Be consistent.
Be here for ME!

How?
I’ve tried to be what you want!
I changed.
I morphed.
I was there for YOU!

You complain that all I do is argue.
So I shut my mouth.
You complain that I ignore you.
So I comment every time you speak.

Torn.
I can’t be whom you desire.
I failed.
I wailed.
You weren’t there for me.

I walked away.
