Trapped by my family,
To cause no harm,
What they want from me,
Is more bullshit charm,
Forcing me to reconsider,
What I already know is wrong,
Making me think,
I was fucked all along.

Why can't I just be myself?
Why can't I be free?
The make me want to hurt them,
So I can live the life I need,
Why can't they just leave me?
I know its cuz they care,
But they don't know me,
So what they ask is just not fair.

Trapped in indecision,
I just can't move on.
Should I just tell them?
About the person I've become?
Will I be her daughter,
If I fuck this up right now?
Will I be their sister,
If I tell them what I've found?

Trapped within my memories,
That have seemed to fade away,
Of a time when I was happy,
With much less for my heart to pay.
To much that I've built up,
To leave it on a whim,
Hoping for tomorrow,
Where life is not so grim.
