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...
