I Can't Be Perfect

[QueenPaige4]

Losing sight of what I thought
was real, challenging, and me
Now I know that this is who I am
I'm unperfect, unyou
Dad don't you see
You can't live through me
I'm not you
I'm going to be successful
I know I am
But I'm going to be
successful for me not you
I love being who I am
and you're pressuring me to be someone I'm not
Something I'm not
Perfect you want me to be perfect
but dad there's no such thing as perfect
I'm growing up
and making a lot of mistakes
Somehow you won't accept it
You won't move on
and I'm wanting you to be okay with everything
but you're just unreasonable
and you don't see that it's hurting me
That you re the reason for my crying
For the pain I feel
And I can't be perfect,
someone who does everything to please you
Now I'm not going to say I won't try
but I'm not going to be who you want me to be
I love being who I am
and you can't change it
I don't care if you don't like who I am
cause I don't like who you are
and I guess we are even
now I'm sitting down on the couch
Knowing you're going to flip out about anything
Like grades, boys, and my mistakes
Now you know that I can't be you
and I can't be perfect

This is a piece that I can relate to far too well. I completely understand the pressure, the expectations, the desire for perfection. It was good. You should spell-check before posting, but good.
