Imperfect
Am I not good enough for you?
I tired of trying to be perfect for you
I keep trying to make you happy,
but your rude remarks just slap me
I try to meet your expectations
of this perfect daughter
You don't even care that I try
Would you care if I died?
Why don't you like me for me?
Why can you not see who I am?
You just never will understand
that people are themselves.
You are you and I am I.
So, why? Why do you make me cry?
I'm too fat, I'm too dull,
I've missed too many days of school.
I don't have friends, you suspect I'm gay
Dad? Why do you tell me everyday,
that I'm going to hell?
I'm trying so hard to be a good person
Why isn't that good enough
I can't be perfect, and the more I try the less I am
I'm so sorry that I can't be perfect
I'm sorry I'm like this
Sorry I'm not perfect
