&quot;life isn&#039;t a matter of milestones, but of moments&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;be as you wish to seem.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;it&#039;s better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you are not.&quot;

A perfect person,
That's not me.
A perfect person,
I want to be.

Over and over,
I can't get it right.
Over and over,
I cry at night.

I try my hardest,
just for him.
I try my hardest,
But I still can't win.

So how do I tell him,
my biggest mistake?
So how do I tell him,
When I'm afraid we might break?
