To Be Perfect

To be perfect

Like you

My perfect

Wasn't even close

I tried

Gave my all

I cried

Coz I still lost it all

Red eyes

Swollen from all the crying

I didn't know why

But I couldn't stop trying

I wanted to be good at something

But failed at everything

I lost the battles I thought I'd win

Every dream I ever had

was always still a dream

I wanted to run

I wanted to escape

But there's no place to run to

Every place I go

It's all coming back

Got to face my problems

There's no running

No crying

That could fix this

Just me and my faith...
