Imperfect

You scream and scream at me
as if it will make me move faster
all my life i have been trying to please you
but have failed every time

No i am tired of being forgotten
i am done with feeling like a slave
you must realize that though i work so hard
I'm still an imperfect child

aww a sad write but powerful words, sometimes it is hard, I used to feel like that when i was younger it was like not being able to do right for doing wrong, you are born for a purpose and you are perfect in God's eyes, they will be called to an account their time will come to answer why they were so harsh on you they are imperfect also there is no such thing as the perfect parent only God is perfect it upsets me theese people that can not see the wood for the trees, God bless you
