Someone, somewhere, sometime long ago told me I had to be PERFECT It's sad that now I don't remember who it was... but then, no one ever does Maybe, just maybe, somewhere, sometime long ago - I was Perfect speech, perfect smile, perfect laugh Absolutely and in every way... If this is true, then it was long ago But since that time, I've tried and tried And failed again and again To be what they say I ought to be PERFECT I stand so still and try so hard that I forget to laugh I forget to smile I forget to speak All for the sake of PERFECT How I hate that word... Regardless, Someone, somewhere, sometime long ago told me I had to be And imperfect, I believed it... If I don't say it...who will? |

This reminds me of the one I wrote called "Me" I hate to feel the need to try. Love it. |
