I'm supposed to study English now
but I don't really care
the teacher is right in front of me
but I don't really care
all kinds of other things
keep on rolling in my head
over and over again
and there's no stopping it
like the thought
I should be perfect
for the world around me
perfect student, perfect friend
a most of all: perfect daughter
because if I'm not
I fail in everything
I flunk on an exam
about who I should be
or how I should act
I have the strange feeling
that I'll never be perfect
I'll always do wrong
any place, anywhere
and I can't handle that
not the fact that it will always
on and on
will scream in my head.
