like you

 I'm like you in more ways than one

like you in the fact that i am your child

 like you in the fact that i have your mental illnesses 

like you in the fact that i cant let the words out because i'm scared of what people will say

 like you in the fact that i scream and scream but no one will listen

i'm like you but i don't want to be like you, no teen wants to be like their parents

whether they be drunks, drug addicts,narcissists, or just plain old people

i don't want to be like you but i am,that's why i resent everyone including my self

like you, i don't understand why i am the way i am
