Regretted Pages

Everybody wants you to be perfect 

When they understand that nobody is perfect 

Their unreal expectations slowly killing inside 

Every time I take a break, it makes me feel so useless

The fear of disappointing them consumes me whole 

Their scolding and taunting, make me wanna scream 

They think that whatever they do, is only for a greater good 


In the Verge of Breaking down and letting myself down 

Not feeling like tryna save me or do anything right 

They know everything about me like an open book 

Or that is what they think it is 


They don't know that I open only certain pages of the Book of mine 

Talking so convincing, that they might understand any other pages 

When even I can't decipher certain pages of my book 

While the others are written as fear and tears and embarrassment 

And a certain few pages which I wish I could erase it but they stained 

All the mistakes I did and i was never a part of cannot be erased or forgotten 

I will forever live with regret about those pages of life
