Less Than Perfect

Is what I am and what I thought all human beings were. But in your eyes. I'm the only one.
Phrases of, "You can't do this, you can't do that, your weird and worthless". Coming from
your mouth are kind words. No matter how hard I strive for your expectations....its never
good enough. Day in and day out you are my motivation to move out and do things on my own.
I rather struggle, then come crawling to you.

I may be less than perfect but I'll be that any day, over a bitter cold person, that's no
where near perfect.
