Answer

Why can’t I be smart?
Why can’t I be good at ‘insert activity’?
Why can’t I be beautiful?
Why does everything I do go wrong?

Where is my perfect boy/girlfriend?
Where are my prefect parents?
Where is the perfect life that everyone else is living in?
Where can I find the exit to my sad world?

How come I can’t do this?
How come I can’t to that?
How come everyone else is happier than I am?
How is it that everyone else seems to move forward when I’m running backwards?

Who said that I can’t succeed?
Who said I have to fail at everything?
Who said I need to do this or that?
Who’s in charge of my life anyway?

What is life anyway?
What is the point to being so angry?
What is reason to all of this madness?
What can I do to stop this slippery slope?

When I can see who I really am,
When I can tell myself that I am imperfect and that's okay,
When I can look in the mirror and say I may not be beautiful but that's me,
When I can forget about other’s and realize that I'm in control of my own life,

When I finally see and accept myself...

That’s the answer.
