They say it's a balancing act.
         I believe it;
Being about feeling enough and tasting love but never accepting it,
because how fair is it to everyone you've ever used to watch you forgive yourself and let go of the demons we've stowed behind broken rib cages and promises of,
"I'll never hurt you again."
And we hate those people,  but we are them, so how can I ever let myself be loved?

It's about going above and beyond but not overboard because they are different, one is expected and one is unacceptable, just ask the graduating class of 2014- nothing is ever good enough, not even your best.

It's about being real but fitting into the microscopic margin of acceptance and hair extensions and tanning beds and a shot glass.

It's about being yourself but not too yourself. Too much of anything can make you sick, you know.

I'm selfish and I'm sorry but it's human nature and I just want to be human.
