What's the Point?


What's the point?

To be a good daughter?
To fit into this perfect picture that was set for me?
To try to be something I'm not?
 
I'm not myself. 
I'm not what I want to be. 
I'm not happy with what I look at in the mirror everyday. 
I'm not what she wants me to be. 
 
What am I then?
I'm not good enough to be what she wants!
I'm not good enough to be what I want! 
So what's the fucking point????
 
That's just it...
There really is no point!
There's no real reason for my heartache. 
There's no reason for my stress. 
There's no reason for my ever-growing need to be perfect. 
 
What's the point?
There is no point!
Well if there is no point
Then why do I care so much?
