But he is not me

I would at least try to be better
but he is not me,

I would see the look on my mother's face
but he is not me,

The punctures and wounds on her hands would cause mine to ache
but he is not me,

I would try harder next time
but he is not me,

I would not let shouts in the house affect me
but he is not me,

I would not let anything in the world come in between me and my studies
but he is not me,

I would not go online so much with results like that
but he is not me,

I would listen to advise from my elders
but he is not me,

The pleas of my parents would somehow speak sense into me
but he is not me,

......................

I would give everything in the world to understand him
but I am not him.
