Is The Inside Right?

How do you tell yourself that it's gonna be alright?
Definition comes by others and can only be defined by them
Does one man know the whole extent of his heart
Or does one need to tell him so he knows what's what
Call me down or lift me up it's all in the hands of others
Those I trust, and those who hold the truth
Respected above the heavens they are the gods of my thoughts
There is no way I can uplift myself
How can I when I always must look down on myself
Always falling short means never reaching perfection
Grabbing for something out of the air

And always hitting my head on the ground

Taught from the beginning that perfection is what I need

Finding it so offten that when I don't I must die

That I am not good enough for me means I'm not good for you

For anyone, for anything, for all time

How can the inside be right when all I see is wrong?

Do we really unlearn the things we know are fact?

Someone help me to see the truth

Help me to learn who I really am
