I will never be perfect
I will never be that and
I will never be enough
Everything I do is never enough
I'm not skinny enough
I'm not good enough in track for him to even come see me
I buy things and try to be the most perfect girl
I get all dressed up
Daddy Look!
Oh thats nice he says
maybe looked twice
constantly proving that I am worthy
I'm worth the time
I'm worth the risk
I wont let you down just look at me
I wanted it all just so you would look
Look daddy I can do flips
Look daddy I'm head cheerleader
Look daddy I'm Student Body President
Look daddy I'm Captain of the track team
Look daddy I won states in the hurdles
Look daddy I got a scholarship for academics
Look daddy I got a scholarship for track
Look daddy I am a double major
Look daddy I am starting my own business
Just look at me
What do I have to do?
Dress me in pearls and make me shine
Put glitter over to hide my eyes
I'm told they never lie
I don't want you to see
See what it is that tears me
I'm torn inside but in front of u I'm just right
always an internal fight
Look daddy, new slipper
Oh thats nice as he takes another bite
So I looked to you
If I got your approval then maybe it would change his sight
But that wasn't right
either
