I'm done trying.
I'm done trying to be perfect.
Can't you see that I'm dying ?
Even when I smile I'm crying.

You know nothing about me,
And all the scars I bury.
I only show what I let you see,
And not the girl with the absent glee.

I know my every imperfections,
All of my cracks and all of my stains.
So please stop giving me corrections,
And all those misleading directions.

Please stop telling me that I can't,
And see for your self that I can.
For this is the poetry that I chant,
And the strength in me that I plant.
