Screw Up


One mistake,
will you ever let me forget it...
I understand what I did was wrong
I understand I disappointed you.
But hey lets think of it this way,
what else is new?
your so hard to please, so hard to understand.
I don't know what to do.
What do you want from me?
I know I'm not what you wanted in a daughter,
that's why you had her.
But I try.
Do you see that?
Do you?
Or do you only see the mistakes?

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” - Mad Hatter
