Imperfect Me
I used to be a confident child
Happy and Content
But quickly that all fell apart
I wonder where it went
To laugh or smile, it was tough to try
I ceased to even care
Your brutal words, you’re hard on fist
Made life just seem unfair
The slightest movement of your cold cruel lips
Sent shivers down my spine
You spoke to me with such contempt
That you left me in decline
At first, I thought that I would break through
That thing’s would be all right
I never thought my mind would fail
To fight your evil plight
I cried as you broke me down
Never quite pulling myself back together
You bruised my mind with horrid lies
Just to make you feel better
And sure it worked you dragged me down
Further than I ever thought I could go
But how do you feel about what you have done
Now, that my blood doesn’t flow
For if it weren’t for you calling me ugly
And telling me that nothing I did was right
If you didn’t keep battering my confidence down
Would I still be here tonight?
So I’m sorry I wasn’t that perfect daughter
That I failed even though I tried
Don’t cry for me my mother, darling
Don’t cry for me now that I’ve died.
Because I was your imperfect child
And no matter what I did I got it wrong
You never cared for me in life
So rejoice now your catastrophe has gone
Don’t put up a face, pretend that you loved me
Just to put on a show for others
Because it doesn’t really matter what they think
You left me with scars and horrors
So good bye my mother, forget and be happy
Live your life without the constant worry
Of the embarrassment your tragedy had created
Please forgive me for the pain I caused you
Truly, I’m sorry
I used to be a confident child
Happy and Content
But quickly that all fell apart
I wonder where it went
To laugh or smile, it was tough to try
I ceased to even care
Your brutal words, you’re hard on fist
Made life just seem unfair
The slightest movement of your cold cruel lips
Sent shivers down my spine
You spoke to me with such contempt
That you left me in decline
At first, I thought that I would break through
That thing’s would be all right
I never thought my mind would fail
