I'm sorry I'm not the perfect daughter.

I'm sorry I'm not the perfect friend.

I'm sorry I'm not the perfect student.

I'm sorry I'm not the perfect girlfriend.

I'm sorry I'm not the perfect sister.

I'm sorry I'm not the perfect shoulder to cry on,

but if you give me a chance I will try and do my absolute best at everything.

That's all I need,

just a chance.

A chance to spread my wings and try and be the best butterfly I can be.

If that fails, may I turn into a beautiful flower.

If I'm not beautiful enough to be a flower,

then hopefully I'll deliver the sweetest nectar in the hive.

If I'm not the sweetest then may I become a part of the best honey sold in the market.

If I'm not the best in the market then maybe while you're shoveling your face full I'll make it

unbearable for you to digest

and give you the biggest pains of your life.

Because after all...

you didn't accept my best.
