Better


At first glance, people will think I don't need to change

 

I had everything anyone would die for

 

Perfect friends, perfect grades, a perfect family, and a perfect home...

 

Yet everyone doesn't see that I have a horrible personality

 

Yelling at my favorite teacher to shut up, arguing with my sibling

 

Wasting my best friend's work to the floor, punching my classmate in the face

 

And making the only interesting girl I know cry for doing nothing

 

Letting her suffer from my classmates comments

 

I just wish I can erase those horrible memories for good

 

But I can't do it, unfortunately

 

However, I can change myself, no matter what the others say

 

I won't be rude to my favorite teacher or my younger sibling

 

I'll taste whatever my friend had made (even if it's bad) and not act all violent to anyone

 

And I swear to not make the girl I like cry

 

I'll make her happy the best way I can

 

One step at a time...

 

Surly, I'll change myself to be a better person

 

Not perfect... Better...
