Rotting to the core

You've finally pushed me too far,
I can't take it anymore,
I'm sick of being what you want me to be,
I'm rotting at the core.

I'm not perfect,
Never was and never will be,
Can't you accept that,
Why can't I just be me.

You've chained me down with expectations,
Locked me up and thrown away the key,
Proven that nothing is ever good enough,
Pushed me to the edge of sanity,

I just can't bring myself to care anymore,
No matter how hard I try,
The pain you've caused me grows more intense,
With every tear I cry.

No matter how much you nag me,
I can't change what I've become,
I can pretend to be someone else,
But I've become so numb.

Please forget that I exist,
That would be better than your screams,
I'm not your little girl anymore,
I'm not the perfect person from your dreams.

I'm so tired of the fights we have,
It all grows so old to me,
Just press the mute button for once,
I'm trying to make you see.

You need to listen up,
I'm not going to say it anymore,
I'm not okay and I'm not perfect,
And your ideals are rotting me to the core.
