I'm Already Perfect

by Tasha   Sep 28, 2006


I have changed myself to basically become them.
Everything that they thought I should be.
Forced away every single imperfection that I held.
Now I am expected to never fail.

I am no longer aloud to make mistakes for myself.
Just created to carry on what other people can't
Restricted to only help those who can't themselves.
Put under the pressure of others pain.

My question is, when can I be for myself?
Why must I be the only one who has to worry?
And now they are expecting me to be better.
Telling me to be more flawless.
Forcing me to carry these problems, but not to show it.

I wish that I could let everything slip away.
Pretend that I can't hear their demands.
Stand up and admit my own mistakes.
Release all my secrets that are hidden from the world.
Yet I know to them, this would mean that I have failed. -
