I'm trying to be the perfect mother.
& I'm trying to be the perfect lover.
Fighting sleep to keep everyone satisfied.
I'm not perfect yet
People say love yourself for who you are.
But when you're constantly put down, it's kinda hard.
I wanna give up but can't because
I'm not perfect yet.
Everyone wants perfection out of me.
Wants me to be something I just can't be
& I'm constantly reminded that
I'm not perfect yet.
No I'm not perfect yet.
I'll never be perfect....
