Alive

I wish I could understand the things you do
you say you want me to be happy
but it never feels that way
my life is just fine
only you, seem to ruin my day
I can't do everything you say
this life is mine
I wish you would talk to me instead of shout
you say you're only looking out for me
but you never ask how I feel
my emotions are positive
only you, give me emotional kill
I can't pretend it's not real
I'm still alive
