Just Like You

Everything I've ever done

Every choice I've made

Each change

Down to the last detail

Since I was able to decide

Every step

Every turn

All my thoughts

My every motivation

Each decision

Each reaction

All of my being

All of my life

Though at times

It became horribly twisted

Ever at the root of it all

At times overpowering

Sometimes feeble

Simple

Pure

All I ever wanted

Was to feel loved
