I am exactly what they made me
and nothing more or less
I've become what they told me
and now I have no rest
I have conformed into someone
that I do not love
But atleast people talk to me
I'm not alone anymore
I am exactly as they wished
I'm who they molded me to be
All they had to do was laugh
and the transformation was complete

Affect me still today?
I am nothing but a character
in someone else's play
It's pathetic and I regret it
Yet it's whom I'm doomed to stay

I am exactly what they made me
and nothing more or less
I've become what they told me
and now I have no rest
I have conformed
I am simply complicated, haphazardly designed
Willingly stubborn, roughly refined.
Selfishly giving, uncertainly sure,
Generously
