Forgive me.

The sun's beautiful ray
Wakes me up every day

I wake up with a motive
To achieve my goals
Aiming for perfection,
Without any holes

I do everything possible
That my body can hold
Try harder each day
Striving to be gold

But when I fail,
I see myself as a water-filled pail,

A pail with a crack,
Leaking profusely
Never useful to anyone,
Always held loosely

With each futile attempt,
I grow a crack
Which covers my beautiful skin
That I long to get back

But like my skin,
I am forever scarred
From reaching my goal,
I am forever barred

I try to hold the water
As much as I can
But it always escapes,
Along with the hope in my plan

Each failure has broken me
Into something too frail
The taunts have caged me
Like a prisoner in jail

I'm nothing but a huge imperfection,
'Everything' is what I lack
In this world of colors
I am just a shadow in black

So forgive me, if I don't try hard
To stand out of a million

Forgive me, for leaving everything behind
For all I fear is oblivion...
