Nope. Never

Perfection? From me?

That won't ever happen.

I'm not perfect

I f**k up

But so do they

And yet here I am

Alone in my failure

The only one who

Will never be enough

As used to it as I am

That doesn't mean it

Doesn't hurt

Don't you get it?

I'm the only f**k up

Except they have done worse then me

But does that matter at all?

NOPE

Because boys will be boys

But me?

I have to be the perfect young lady

They can say whatever they like

Me?

I have to keep my mouth shut

They can do illegal things

Me?

I have to be the good one

Will you ever cease this bullshit?

Nope?

Didn't think so.

I love the structure of this poem, it's so well and effectively put together. Unfortunately, it's very hard these days to rely on other people for a bit of encouragement and a confidence boost because every one else wants to be the confident ones. You have to find your own self worth and hope that along the way you meet a few true, genuinely nice people. I'm sure you will.

how bitter. a very retroflective poem. no matter how bitter you are, the world won't ever give a f**k. so better yet, be happy.

Sis, seriously. They are not worth the worry. I love you, and I know you're not a failure. People constantly pull others down to make themselves seem like they're on a higher level. It's pathetic, but true. The only thing you can really do is prove them wrong, which we both know you can do easily. So... Just do it and shove their noses in your victory! ;}
I love you!

Hey Dupree! You try too hard. Just let them do their crap and in the end you will be the one standing there, with your hands on your hips, saying "I told you so didn't I" without having to actually say it.

A titled and geared look at mistake and mayhem for all human abilities, well done, good read.
