Accept Me

by Amanda Jackson   Dec 11, 2004


Here I go this is my flow
straight up this is me
you can accept it or not
well just have to see
well first things first
drug-free is not the way for me
you might look down on me
but if you knew the battles I was facing
you would be very proud of me
I wish my parents could just see
and understand everything that’s going on with me
I’m truly sorry that I’m not the daughter
that they wanted me to be
but does that mean they have to hate me
I mean can’t they see that’s what’s tearing me up
because I can’t be everything that
they expected me to be
but what else did they want from me
I was already in everything
couldn’t they see
I was already number 23, the president,
drama queen, member of every club that there could be
could they say good job
you’re the daughter that we wanted you to be
no they just kept putting more pressure on me
telling me that I needed to be better
work harder
and reach all the goals that they set for me
couldn’t they see the pressure was too much for me
well couldn’t they just accept me for me
