Perfect?

Never been perfect 

Never will be 

Sometimes I hate myself 

I just need to be free

It's hard for me 

I don't know who to be 

Hide behind the lies

Make everyone like you

But for who? 

Definitely not me

Just because I'm what they want to see

Not sad and lonely 

But happy and proper 

If only they knew the real me 

Understood the pain behind the game 

They game we all play 

So hard to be real 

In a world so full of fakes 

So hard to care 

When the world doesn't even want you here 

Now I know what I must do 

And really it won't involve you 

To make me happy all I need 

Is my baby girl and something to read 

Just giving her hope is more than enough 

To make me smile proudly

At what my baby could become

It's not what you are

But the people you help realize who they are.
