trying to make people understand.
I am not as perfect as everyone thinks I am
I am not always going to get things right
I can tell you something I AM
I am HUMAN
I am REAL.
I still have feelings and some of things I hear over and over agian start to tear me down because I start to believe them and I start to wonder what I did wrong.
But I did nothing wrong... I was just being human, just being real with myself.
Realizing I cannot please every person I walk by
I can't be their heroin and make sure that every need of theirs is met by my doings
But people look at me and put me on a plaque because
I am a "good" student
I get "good" grades.
But I am not as perfect as everyone thinks I am, or as everyone makes me out to be...
I am
ME
