Never

My memories are not like yours.
They aren't like his or hers.
You have some things that I don't.
You don't know what my life is like,
And you will never know, for you will never
Live my life. It's the same all around the world.
I don't like telling about my whole life.
Just the good times, and some bad.
You make a big deal out of my life.
You act like I'm you, but I'm not. I never will be.
I don't need your help.
You can't make my past go away. It won't work.
So don't try. It's pointless.
Your past is always with you.
Like a shadow.
There's nothing you can do about it.
Stop trying.
It will never be.
