Am I?


Fearful since I can remember

Trying to be something since 1992 September

Constantly looking over my shoulder

To see whose watching as I get older

Am I making smart choices as I'm on the go

Picking and choosing honestly I don't know

I'm not where Id plan to be at the age that I'm at

Did I become the person that everyone hoped for Zac

 I know I know everyone makes a mistake

And of course I know that its never too late

But being flawless is not being perfect, to me its just about trying to make it

And thats what I'm doing never giving up, looking for ways to take it

Take whats mine, make my own destiny 

Am I flawless, I would sure like to be

But in a sense I am because I never give in

Constantly looking for ways to win

One mistake here does not determine who I am 

Its what I do next until I reach the end

So I guess you could say that Its in my forte

Flawless that is, as I live it day by day
