You Gave Me Life

by Cassandra - Scorpio

You gave me life
But you also take it away.
I choke in your love and affection
Unable to live how I want
    when I want.

There is no understanding between us
And maybe I'm the Ungreatful One
   But that is who I am.
   Take it or leave it.
   But leave me be.

Leave me to live my life
Let me learn my way
Discover things on my own
Stop trying to drown me
   I want to breathe.

I am myself
Perhaps a product of my environment.
But one separate entity
Misunderstood
But I will not change.
   Not for you.
   Not for them.
   Only for me.
