I'm My Own Person

What is this? It makes me sick.
It's like I'm food and you're an anorexic.
This is wrong. This is sad.
Why is it that everything I do is bad?
I guess it's just the way I am.
You're the shepherd and I'm the lamb.
No! No! This wasn't meant to be!
No! It's not! Oh! Can't you see!
I'm my own person, you're all the same.
"You'll never be anything!" so you claim.
Leave me alone! Let me be!
Go on with your lives! You don't control me!
