Perfection.
why do I need to be perfect?
who told you I am a princess?
covered with royalty...you thought I was.
but in the dirt, and nothing close to riches.
Do you see the lines in my palms?
they don't show you the future...
however, my struggles decided to leave a mark.
Harder! Harder!!
they all screamed while I was doing my best.
"Your best isn't good enough " they roared like lions.
who told you I was seeking perfection?
why can't I breathe without being reminded I need to do more?
I am gold in making.
I am no princess.
my processes are lengthy.
But, to make me stronger.
I won't subdue myself to pressure.
If you can't wait till am gold...
Leave while am in the dirt.
