I'm sorry I can't be perfect,
I just seem to be below your standards,
I try to meet them or exceed them,
but something is holding me back,
I get so stressed out that I'm not happy anymore,
sometimes I have to much to deal with,
so I release it through physical pain,
my eyes are red and swollen from crying,
I wear long sleeves all the time,
I want this to go away,
but nothing will heal the scars,
and I can't stop crying
