But who’s to blame them?
When it is I who expects,
Something from them.
For years now,
I have tried to please,
To understand and to love,
For people to appreciate and,
Care for me.
But that’s not how,
It’s meant to be,
I realize later,
Of all the treachery.
People disappoint me,
But now I know the truth,
That I needn't change for them.
How naive I was then,
But now, I live for myself.

We take a lifetime to understand this very fact, don't we? What an irony.
We do take a lifetime... Sometimes, I wish we had a handbook with instructions on life... :)
