Another quick one.

He always refers to things I do as "trying."

"Why are you trying to act tough?"
"Why are you trying to seem pathetic?"
"Why are are trying to prove this to me?"

Well here's a bit of news for you.

TO YOU I AM ALWAYS "TRYING", NEVER "DOING."
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO PROVE
ESPECIALLY TO YOU

WHAT I DO IS WHAT IS INSIDE
I HAVE NO REASON
TO MAKE YOU THINK ANYTHING OF ME

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT I HAVE
NO ULTERIOR MOTIVES
NO DECEPTIVE PLANS

NO REASON TO LIE
NO REASON TO BE FAKE

I KNOW WHO I AM
BUT IT SEEMS THAT YOU DON'T

LOOK DEEPER
COULD IT BE YOU ARE THE ONE
WHO IS INSECURE

YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE
YOU HAVE TO PRETEND

YOU EXPECT THE SAME FROM EVERYONE ELSE
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW
I'M NOT LIKE YOU

GET TO KNOW YOURSELF
AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT IS TRUE
