I've stopped doing things for you now
I've tried to make you proud
But I can see now that that'll never happen

Its been like this for quite a while
But thats okay
I dont need to make you proud
I dont want to make you proud
This is my life, not yours

You do have a great influence on me though
I'd say I get my bravery from you, but i probably get from mom. 
Although you have helped me develop it
With your harsh words and empty threats
And when i finally get the confdence to say something back
You say nothing, or say something lame, impervise, you know im right
You know you're wrong 
It gives me confdence
To challenge you the next day. 

I'd say you inspire me.
But mom also does that 
With her kind words and smart brain
She helps me believe that im not the disappointment you think I am. 
And she's proud of me, but that doesn't matter.
I am proud of myself, and that is what actually matters. 
She's help me realize that too.
