I'm trying
I'm trying to be perfect
while I'm struggling to be okay
I'm failing
and there is no more music
for me to play
I'm crying
but you tell me to get off the floor
because
I'm just a whore
who needs to study
who is failing
who is a disappointment
I would rather die than disappoint you
Because my grades are more important than my dance
and every word you say i will remember
and you are the cause of the steady beat in my head
that screeches
I'm trying
and
I'm failing
I know i will never be good enough for you
i will never excel
i will never make you proud
every step i make is in the wrong direction
Mother Please
I just want to make you proud.
