I Am Perfect At Being Me

Folder: 
my poems

You say you care

But you're never there

You leave me alone

Then saw I can't leave home

Yet it's not your fault

That I'm falling apart

You seem so blind

To the hints I leave behind

It wasn't hard to find a way

To keep the pain at bay

I used to believe every word you said

But lies are what really filled my head

I used to thinkit was me

I wanted your approval so badly

That it nearly killed me

But now I see

It was never really about me

You wanted everything done so perfectly

That no matter what

It's never enough

One day you'll see

How you almost destroyed me

How I thought that I was wrong

When all along

I was the best I could be

And knowing that makes me happy
