my mother told me to be picture perfect
to be every thing she expected
she told me to be something I couldn't
my mother taught me to strive for perfection

my father told me to be unique
told me to be strong
he told me to be everything I could be
my father taught be to be stronger

my sister told me to be caring
told me its ok to have feelings
she told me its not showing weakness
my sister taught me to be open

my brother told me to be playful
told me life isn't always a serious game
he told me to not be the pawn on field
my brother taught me to be my own player

I told myself that im useless
told myself that know one cares
I said im all alone with my flaws
but they taught me that im not alone

they care more than anything
*they taught me to *love me
