We are all expected to be perfect in some form or another--which is often how I feel.  I sometimes feel as though nothing I do or say is ever right--as though I'm always making mistake after mistake, and all anyone wants is for me to be perfect when all of us are anything but.
			"Perfect" by: Alanis Morrisette Sometimes it's never quite enough... If you're flawless, then you'll win my love. Don't forget to win first place.. Don't forget to keep that smile on your face. Be a good girl, try a little harder... You've got to measure up. Make me prouder. How long before you screw it up? And how many times do I have to tell you to hurry up? With everything I do for you... The least you can do is keep quiet. Be a good girl, you gotta try a little harder. That simply wasn't good enough, To make us proud. I live through you, I'll make you what I never was-- If you're the best, well maybe so am I compared to him, compared to her I'm doing this for you, I'm damn good, you'll make up for what I blew. What's the problem?  Why are you crying? Be a good girl, push a little farther now... That wasn't fast enough to make us happy. We love you just the way you are... If you're perfect.
