Let's Just Get One Thing Straight

I will never be a woman with the perfect hair, 
or the perfect skin with the perfect make-up, 
or the perfect body in the perfect outfit.

I will never have the perfect man, 
or the perfect children, 
or the perfect tiny dog.

I will never drive the perfect car, 
live in the perfect home, 
or work the perfect job.

I will never be the woman you want or expect me to become.
I will never take the path you think I should take.
I will never live my life the way you'd like me to.

I will never do or be these things because that is not who I am,
because your idea of me is not me,
because this is MY life.
