Not Perfect Enough / Was it me?

Why aren’t we happy anymore?

What did we do?

Was it me?

Everyone fights now

I want it all to stop

I want to tear my ears off

I want to stop crying

I want to go away

No. I can’t

Be perfect. For them.

Don’t burden them.

Don’t hurt them.

It was me..?

Not perfect enough

Get good grades.

Leave your friends

Leave everyone alone, you are burden

You are ugly.

Stop crying. I said stop!

Be perfect

Why did you do that?

How dare you?

How dare you not be perfect enough!

It was me...
