“Perfect”
Hey, Dad, look at me.
Think back and talk to me.
Did I grow up according to plan?
I’m not a doctor or a lawyer.
I’m not an accountant or a businessman.
Instead, I followed my dreams.
I reached for the stars.
Do you think I’m wasting my time?
Doing things I want to do?
It hurts when you’ve disapproved all
along.
Now, I try hard to make it.
I just want to make you proud.
I’m never going to be good enough for
you.
I can’t pretend that I’m alright.
You can’t change me.
I can’t help the way I was born.
I can’t help whom I love.
I smoke. I drink.
I cope with the pain.
I never meant to hurt you.
But I’m the one who’s been broken.
We lost it all.
Nothing lasts forever.
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.
It’s just too late,
We can’t go back.
Three years past.
I couldn’t hate you, despite the pain.
I wanted to believe you still loved me.
I wanted to run away.
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.
I try not to think about the pain I
feel inside.
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me now seem
so far away.
What happened to the past?
What happened to affectionate pats on the head?
I lost my mother and my brother and now my father as
well.
My heart literally aches.
It feels like you don’t care anymore.
I tried hard to make it.
I just wanted to make you proud.
But I’m never going to be good enough
for you.
I can’t be Reginald or Percival or Frederick.
I can’t be anyone but me.
Too bad that’s not enough.
No matter what I do.
I went to space; did you know?
I built an airship and a plane.
Did you even care?
I can’t stand another fight.
Nothing’s ever been alright.
We lost it all.
When I left, you scoffed.
Nothing lasts forever.
I tried to love her and make it work.
I couldn’t deny myself.
I love him, Dad.
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.
Now it’s just too late.
We can’t go back.
You can’t take away every beating…
Or apologize for every tear.
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.
Nothing’s going to change the things
that you said.
Nothing’s going to make this right
again.
I don’t want your money.
I don’t need your house or your cars.
I wish that you loved me.
I wished to just hear you once say,
“I’m proud.”
Please don’t turn your back.
I can’t believe it’s hard just to talk
to you.
You don’t understand.
And in the end,
You left me again.
To the bitter loss.
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.
I almost lost it all.
I thought we’d last forever.
It was almost too late.
Thought I couldn’t go back.
I knew I was just imperfect.
I tried hard to make it.
My scars remind me.
I won’t ever be the same again.
Cause we lost it all.
Nothing lasts forever.
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.
I’m going to move on.
It is just too late.
You can’t go back.
I’m going to love him.
And I will make my own way.
You lost it all.
You can’t last forever.
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.
It is just too late.
And I won’t go back.
I’m happy to be imperfect.
