Never perfect

by Ryan Parsons   May 11, 2005


What the hell do you want from me?
I try my best but you’re still at my back,
Telling me that what I’m doing isn’t good enough, for you,
So why is it you put the weight on my shoulders,
Why do I have to be your perfect little boy?
Why can’t you let me live my own life,
And let me learn from my mistakes,
But no, there you are again,
Criticizing my choices and mistakes,
I swear I wish you’d just go away,
And let me be, let me see,
That you can finally set me free,

all I ever wanted, was someone to see me,
As who I really am, and I’m,

pushing away from you,
Pushing away from everyone,
Who can’t accept me,
For who I am,
For how I stand,
Not watching me,
Telling me what I do is never perfect,

this is written to my stepdad and mom for constantly being in my way. while i love them, they need to let me learn from my own mistakes. it's also to a few of my really good friends who just seem like they don't want to try to understand me.
and in case you were wondering in the comments why there are three of mine saying the same thing it's cuz i was being a retard and didn't know i could write my own comments right here.
