How long have I tried to say

How long have I tried to say?

That I am not perfect in any way?

How long have I been trying to prove?

That it IS possible for me to lose?

How long have I been trying to write?

These feelings of hate the feelings of spite?

How long have I been trying to express?

I know I've tried my best

How long have I been putting into words

In my own silent, subtle way

That your ideas are absurd

And I am not perfect in any way

How much more will it have to take?

For me to prove to you

That I am just a mortal too

Not any different from you
