PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

How I act now

Especially now

Must be perfect

No flaws what so ever

I can't fight

I can't argue

I can't be right

Even when I am

I have to follow the directions

Placed before me

No matter what

No matter how I feel

I can't be an individual

I must stay with people

If I don't

I'm yelled at

All I want is independence

And a ride out of here

Just to get away

I HAVE to help, though

I'm forbidden to leave

This sucks

I'm not perfect

I can't try to be

It doesn't work

My life is full of mistakes

That I hide within

I guess I'm fake now

Because I am not perfect

And I suck at trying to be
