Me Being Me

Giving everything I have,
it never seems like enough.
I always seem to fall short,
lacking some sort of final push.

One step from perfect,
and thus wholly ruined.
Not quite where I want to be,
always one word away.

So tantalizingly close,
before my dreams shatter.
Shatter like tears of glass
cutting the skin on my cheeks.

I despairingly try my best,
yet am never quite good enough.
I do my best to be myself,
but it's never worked in my favor.

tell your "ego" to take a rest. you appear to be guided creatively by your "heart" and not your ego. the sooner your "ego" gets it, the sooner you'll realize you are perfectly creating your best "me" -- with new and exciting discoveries every day you awake!
