the quiet reflection of me.
<

You abused me.
You hurt me.
You told me I was nothing,
And I’m not worthy enough as your daughter.

 

After all of those, I still love you,
I still want to earn so much money for you.
I still want to ease your pain,
I still want to make you proud.

 

You said you trust me.
You never do.
You try to control my life,
And tell me to do things your way.

 

After all of those, I still love you,
I still want to earn so much money for you.
I still want to ease your pain,
I still want to make you proud.

 

You said you are proud of me,
But that’s only because you want people to see your success.
You said I was a great daughter,
But you doubt everything I do and say.

After all of those, I still love you,
I still want to earn so much money for you.
I still want to ease your pain,
I still want to make you proud.

 

You told me I was your biggest mistake,
And you regret having me as your child.
You told me I spend too much money,
And spending money is all I do my whole life.

 

After all of those, I still love you,
I still want to earn so much money for you.
I still want to ease your pain,
I still want to make you proud.

 

You never stand up for me,
You agree with people’s opinions about me,
You only see my mistakes,
You never want to see my efforts making them right.

 

After all of those, I still love you,
I still want to earn so much money for you.
I still want to ease your pain,
I still want to make you proud.

 

You have never been proud of me,
You ask so much of me,
You demand everything from me,
And you always make me cry.

 

After all of those, I still love you,
I still want to earn so much money for you.
I still want to ease your pain,
I still want to make you proud.

 

Why do I still want to do those things?
I can do everything else I want.
I can run for my life and move out of the house.
I can stop my college and live from my job.
I can rent a room and stop living off your money.
Will you feel sad if I leave?
Will you want me back if I run away?
Will you feel sorry for what you’ve said?

 

No. You wouldn’t.
If I run away, you’d get angry.
People would think you’ve failed as parents.
If I move out, you’d get mad,
You have spent so much money and I don’t pay.
If I quit college and get a job, you’d feel pissed.
You expected me for a good career to redeem all your investment.

 

I hate you.
I hate you for making me feel this pathetic.
I hate you for making me feel this useless.
I hate you for making me hate you.
I hate you for making me feel hopeless.
I hate you very much.

I wish I could do all those things.
But if I did them, you’d get disappointed.
For having a bad daughter, for having all your money wasted,
And I don’t want to disappoint you.

That’s the only reason I’m not moving out.
That’s the only reason I’m not going away.

 

After all of those, I still love you,
I still want to earn so much money for you.
I still want to ease your pain,
I still want to make you proud.
