Some People

Some people see light in me Fire inside that I don't see Burning bulb of a spirit sweet Expectations I fail to meet Some people think I am great Love the pieces I create Only imperfections there A decent work is oh-so-rare Some people know the things that I have done Battles fought but never won Yet they love me despite my wrong Believing it made me strong Some people wish I would try Push myself until I cry They don't realize that I do The fire in me just won't shine through Some people see grief inside One I so carefully hide Because I understand but they don't see Some people cannot be what you want them to be
