It's not that

It's not that I'm not mature for my age
It's that there were so many damages, and the things he said, that he has done to me
so I made up my mind already
and you, doesn't matter if you gave birth to me, gotta give respect.

It's not that I'm a failing daughter
It's that you didn't go through what I had to go through
you never put yourself in my shoes

It's not that I don't trust you
It's that I don't trust anyone when it comes to money
because what happened don't match with what you said

It's not that I play basketball for fun, and it's not that I should give up to try
It's not that I am lazy and can't take any work
It's that I am at where my heart at. It's that I follow my passion.

It's not that I spend money on random shit faster than anything else
It's that I make sure my bank is never $0

I'm very grateful for where I am, really
and I'm very grateful for everything, truly
but you make it so much harder to apologize

I think about the reasons why I am 4,373km away from home
and yet still get myself into the situations that I've worked my way to avoid them

I get it
stereotype and selfishness exist in human being
but you can always try to be less stereotype and selfish than yesterday

so fuck off. 
I have my passion to do.
