Not My Fault

About understanding that sometimes people’s problems with you aren’t your own fault.

Funny how my mind always tends to think
That maybe I’m the one to blame
But you see the problems weren’t actually me
And it seems all you act the same

Everyone’s always expecting more
But why doesn’t my effort already suffice
There’s no reason I should have to change
Just appreciate me once, that would be nice

It’s time to realize I’m already perfect
And to expect more of me is not fair
If you keep thinking you can ask for more
I will have to take my perfect else where

I’m not trying to be full of myself
Or even trying to be a jerk
But I’m starting to see nothing is wrong with me
Realize that, or this won’t work

Author's Note

Still trying to figure out how to express myself through poetry. So please leave thoughtful criticism.
