if you really knew me

After watching the MTV special of "If You Really Knew Me...", I realized that many people, young or old, have similar backgrounds, family history, emotions, and thoughts. 

My silver lining is the similarities in our differences as people.

If you really knew me...

You'd know that I want the love and acceptance of my father more than anything but I am not willing to participate in getting it.  I want him to love me on his own terms and I would sacrifice a lot for it.  You would know that the further along in school that I get, the less I love him.
