Tired of You
Author:

Dear Mom and Stepdad, all my life you've tried to dictate my life right down to my jeans. you never cared about me, just your reputation and how it reflected off of me. well, guess what, i'm tired of your rules and complaints, and especially, you.

They thought me merely a stupid girl.

They thought I had no thought of the world.

But in truth,

My wisdom was years ahead of my time

With ideas that would blow their minds


I felt so imprisoned

I felt the need to hide

They kept me from flying high

Spreading my wings wide


I'm not naïve

I'm as wise as I can be

I'm not as stupid as my sister

And I won't be compared to her.

I'm learning from other's mistakes

And I know the right things

I'll be the person I wanna be

I'll speak how I wanna speak

I'm so tired of being told what to do

I'm so tired of you


They thought me someone with special needs

They thought I was too blind to see

But, in truth, I saw right through the lies

My mind worked in ways they never realized.


I felt so imprisoned

I felt the need to hide

They kept me from flying high

Spreading my wings wide


I'm not naïve

I'm as wise as I can be

I'm not as stupid as my sister

And I won't be compared to her.

I'm learning from other's mistakes

And I know the right things

I'll be the person I wanna be

I'll speak how I wanna speak

I'm so tired of being told what to do

I'm so tired of—


"I'm right, you're wrong

You're weak, I'm strong

You're a brat, I'm perfect

You're trouble, not worth it

You're naïve, I'm wise

No, I didn't lie

You're a demon, you're a mess

I hate the way you're dressed

Go change everything about you

I hate everything you do."


"Excuse me honey,

I'm sorry to say

I don't live to please you

I gotta live my way."


I'm not naïve

I'm as wise as I can be

I'm not as stupid as my sister

And I won't be compared to her.

I'm learning from other's mistakes

And I know the right things

I'll be the person I wanna be

I'll speak how I wanna speak

I'm so tired of being told what to do

I'm so tired of you

I'm so tired of you
