you pull me in
you push me away
i don't know who
i'm supposed to be today
i don't know what you want
and you won't tell me
cause you won’t even talk -
i’ve tried
you cut me down
then shut me down
i should have tried more
and now
i have to carry that
i’m sorry i’m not yelling
like you want me to
i no longer wish -
to give
that sort of control to you
and more than that
i’m sure you'll see
it will let me become -
a better me

came back with more queries

not thin circumstantial theories
all i found was loneliness
where you and i once stood
i don't want to walk away
but i know now that i should

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

Thank you for the shoutout! I’m not sure how I earned it, but it’s very much appreciated, and I hope to continue growing as a writer.
So sad, i feel the pain. You have a few lines to correct Brenton. It is a great sad song.
Heart wrenching, but written beautifully. I feel for you mate. BTW, “ i longer wish to give” should be “I no longer …” 😉
