Black Swan


I crave perfection I need to be perfect Or I am a failure My life is a ballet Never quite getting something right And repeating it over 50 times until I do I am not the prettiest I am not the nicest I am not innocent I could be perfect for you If you would just give me a chance There are scratches all over my body Where I hope to let my black wings free And be who I want to be
