I'm Not Like You

I never want to be like you
But people have told me
Because I'm your daughter
I will be if I drink
They said I'd be an alcholic
Because of my genes
I was quite devastated
Because I hate how people say your going to be like your parents
I know it's just drinking
That I wouldn't be able to do
That would be the only thing that
I wouldn't be able to do
To not end up like you
Well the only thing that
I'd want to do
That you done
But I didn't want to have to be different
Because of you
If i done that
It would feel like your controlling me
But I found out I'm not like you
I got drunk the other night
And I enjoyed it
But the differnce is
I stopped when I realised
I had enough
I stopped you didn't
I'm glad I got drunk
Because now I know
I'm not like you
NO!

I believe the world is becoming a better place, and one of the ways that this is happening is through the challenges each generation presents to the next. You are playing an aware role in that change. Well done. :)
