Im perfect

by ashley   Mar 28, 2006


I try to be perfect
- to please everyone
my boyfriend, my family, my friends
somehow its never good enough
somehow I\\\'m just a screw up
I\\\'m too fat, or too skinny, or not nice enough, or not talking enough

nothing is ever good enough
they criticize me and talk down to me
and then criticize me when i change to please them

my family does this anyway

then i get hit if they are not pleased
or they go do another line of coke

my boy
he adores me.
don\\\'t you agree i need to keep him happy, keep him around. since hes the only one that is good to me?
yeah i thought so too.
apparently I\\\'m not good enough for him anymore.
now I\\\'m too pretty.
too nice.
too sweet.
too loving.

why cant i ever make anyone happy?
thats really all i want to do...

    I think in order to make others happy, you need to make your self happy first by just being yourself, afterall that's all you can be! great poem!! I can really relate though!
