If you can't handle the pressure, why expect me to?
My Apologies

So sorry
I can’t be perfect.
So sorry
I can’t be
The perfect sister
The perfect daughter
The perfect friend
The perfect girlfriend
The perfect student.
So sorry
I can’t be happy
All the time.
So sorry
I have emotions, too.
So sorry
I’d rather
Just be myself
Than just be perfect.
So sorry
I’d rather say
What I feel
Instead of lying all the time,
Saying what you want to hear.
So sorry
I ever tried
To be perfect.
So sorry
I ever pretended to be
Happy,
Cheerful,
Enthusiastic,
Passionate,
Excited.
So sorry
I can’t handle
Being your ideals
Any more.
So sorry
The real me
Is such a disappointment.
So sorry
I ever cared so much
About you
That I sacrificed myself
Every day of my life
To make you happy.
So sorry
I can’t be perfect.
