As I lay here
I think to myself
Who have I become?
Why am I this way?
I don't know??
Is it the people around me?
As I lay here,
I cry.
Who am I?
I don't even know anymore!
Tears in my eyes.
Of course they love me,
They have to.
But why do they?
I need to treat others with respect.
A tear in my eye,
Runs down my face..
Past my heart

It's important to be grateful for absolutely everything you receive from your parents. They try very hard to give you what you want. So don't take advantage of them.
