When you decide what I'm saying before I've even opened my mouth, you'll never hear what you want to hear. When you drown out my protests with your own voice you'll never understand that I don't want to fight you. When you interrupt me, when you dismiss me, when you assign your own meaning to my words, you push yourself further away from the truths I'm trying to tell you.
You made me but you are not me.
We are similar but we are not the same.
It is not my fault that I learned from your behaviour and you did not.
I'm not sorry for not needing your approval anymore.
