Subject: I can't do it all

If I sing will you hear me?
If I cry, will you care?
If I leave, will you miss me?
If I die, will you dispair?

I need to know I'm not unwanted,
Need to know that someone sees
I'm not just another person,
Floating back out with the breeze.

When I talk do you listen?
When I point do you turn?
When I make a great effort,
Do you think I can't learn?

I just want someone here
To see me as I really am
I can't do it all, you see
My brain was never meant to cram.

When I make a mistake,
Do accept is as life,
Or am I supposed to be perfect,
With no mental strife?

I'm tired of jeering,
Of the mental strain
To meet expectaions
No matter the pain.

If I said this, would you understand?
If I opened up, would I trust you?
If I asked you to help, would you lend me a hand?
If I needed advice, would you pull me from the blue?

I don't need another one,
Nagging for me to be
Better than
Humanly possible, see?

Just do me one favor,
Before I must go,
Spread the word, "She's not perfect"
So others will know.

So when I return,
Life will calm down at last,
I can go at a pace
That's not forced to be fast.
