By VDub26

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You tell me to be perfect But you know that I can't No one can, don't you realize that? I'm never good enough for you Isn't that right? Don't deny it! You know you want me to be perfect But you must realize that I can't be that I am my own person, and yes, I am far from perfect But I try to be good enough for you Will it ever be good enough? No, because I can never be perfect Written March 20th, 2002 © on Mar 20 2002 02:02 PM PST, Matt Van Wormer   18 • 0 • 1
