to be beautiful;

beautiful for you.

But I cannot change whats

written in blood,

I can't force

what will not budge.

Im tearing out my insides for you,

just so I can be as close enough

to perfect

for you.

But I cannot stop whats moving--

not on my own.

I cannot erase

what has been here all along.

I cant make the past disappear

or predict this future.

But Im trying, so hard

to be close enough to perfect

as I could ever be.

Just accept me

and accept these unmistakable flaws,

because Im trying

to perform the impossible--

being good enough

for you.
