The moving target


It want just that single spark, The moment things went wrong, Its how you measure every beat Of where i don't belong. You hold me up to everyone, To every thing you see, Then claim you don't want "perfect"- While you try to edit me. Your words are soft and forgiving, But your actions hold the line; I've finally stopped the talking, Since I'm never quite "Just Fine."
