Life Doesn't Have To Be Perfect


I don’t remember living
In a cupboard under the stairs,
Or growing up in a forest
Surrounded by friendly bears.
So how come I feel so weird?

I find it hard to make small talk
I always want to be the best.
Maybe I should go public
And write LOONEY LEZ on my vest.
It’s just that I feel so weird

Asking for help is something
That doesn’t come easy for me.
I revel in negative thinking
It’s hard just to say “wait and see.”
Why do I feel so weird?

Exam results must be perfect,
Or failure’s the name of the game.
Family meals no less than a triumph,
Are more than a reason for blame.
It’s no good. I still feel weird.

Life doesn’t have instructions,
Or a map to show you the way.
No one will give you a medal,
For beating yourself up every day.
Life doesn’t have to be prefect.
