My life's not perfect
I make mistakes
But what gives you the right
To tell me how to do it?
I make mistakes
But what gives you the right
To tell me how to do it?
I'm trying my very best
Looking at myself
It isn't pleasant but
I'm trying, trust me
Looking at myself
It isn't pleasant but
I'm trying, trust me
Every day is a challenge
Every day takes its toll
Every day I do the best I can
Every day I try not to fall
Every day takes its toll
Every day I do the best I can
Every day I try not to fall
You think you have the answers
Can walk in my shoes
But you've no idea
What it's like being me, you don't
Can walk in my shoes
But you've no idea
What it's like being me, you don't
I'm changing every day
It might be slowly but it's there
One day you'll see me transform
I only need your care
It might be slowly but it's there
One day you'll see me transform
I only need your care
Every day is a challenge
Every day takes its toll
Every day I do the best I can
Every day I try not to fall
Every day takes its toll
Every day I do the best I can
Every day I try not to fall
This poem is written in the style of a song as we were prompted today at Real Toads Poetry.

A beautiful song that many can take heart from.
Yes, great song with a terrific message. Every day, we are not only trying to grow - we are evolving. It is such an amazing journey.
I agree with Marian this is a great mantra...Just each day give our very best. Nice work!
So true...nicely written...emotive.
It doesn't matter about falling. It matters about getting back up.
Sometimes honestly "looking at ourselves" is the hardest part. Very nice.
Taking an "honest look" at ourselves is often the toughest part. Nice work.
