The Note

Perfection is just so far away
And I'm sorry I can't reach it
But like everything that's a part of me
My deepest soul is faulted
I have no astounding talents
Nothing that gleams very bright
I am merely average and mediocre
I can't compete with another's light

Maybe it's time I left this world
And I'm sorry I can't stay
But like everything I ever tried
It had no hope of working
I might try to live one day
But I still can't face my fate
My mistakes are irreversible and
I can't bear the burden of self-hate

My world is falling apart
And I'm sorry I can't stop it
But like everything I ever had
It's out of my control
My problems aren't that huge
And others have greater fears
But I'm just I, not them
And I can't control my tears
