Thank you thank you thank you for all your great reviews! I hope you like where my story's going. Sark won't come out til the 10th Chapter or something. But my chapters are short (sorry!) but I promise I'll upload them soon. Thanks again! *Disclaimer: I do not own the song that I used in this Chapter. It belongs exclusively to Linkin Park; I'm just borrowing it. By the way, the asterisks are the song, since I can't make my italicization work. Thanks for the tips, though. Happy reading!

*I'm tired of being what you want me to be Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface I don't know what you're expecting of me Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes.

I know you want me to act all mature about this. but for crying out loud I'm only thirteen.

I'm fed up with all the times dad had to pick me up early from school coz the both of you were going on a mission and it would be unsafe for me to stay.

*Caught in the undertow. just caught in the undertow.

I'm fed up with having to switch homes every two months just to end up staying for a weekend.

*Every step that I take is another mistake to you.

I'm fed up with having to always check my back and go through "extensive safety procedures".

I'm fed up with having to always get a GPA of 95.

I'm fed up with missing my friends' parties and those hang outs in the mall.

*I've become so numb, I can't feel you there

Become so numb, so much more aware

I'm becoming this, all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you.

Sometimes, when it gets too noisy inside and outside, I can't listen to you - let alone UNDERSTAND.

*Can't you see that you're smothering me Holding too tightly afraid to lose control

Sometimes I can't even hear - let alone LISTEN.

*Coz everything that you though I would be Has fallen apart right in front of you.

I'm sorry for not being the perfect daughter.

*Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow.

I'm sorry for breaking my curfew and missing family counseling.

I'm sorry for breaking your freakin rules.

*And every second I waste is more than I can take.

I'm sorry.

*I've become so numb, I can't feel you there Become so numb, so much more aware I'm becoming this, all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you.

Thinking of my grandfathers. how you guys turned out to be like them.

*And I know, I may end up failing, too.

I'm sorry. I can't turn out to be like you. anything but this, anywhere but here.

*But I know, you were just like me with someone disappointed in you.

I know you have your own problems. but. I'm sorry.

*I've become so numb, I can't feel you there Become so numb, so much more aware I'm becoming this, all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you.
