Standards
I’m not lonely 
 I swear
 I’m a girl
 I swear
 I’m far from perfect
 I play video games
 I don’t like being with my family
 Because all they do is lecture
 All they do is judge
 All they do is make fun of 
 All they do is correct
 So it seems
 I don’t have inspiration
 To be the best
 Not yet
 Hopefully one day
 I can find it in my chest
 So then he won’t judge me
 So I’m good enough for him
 Or even good enough for her
 I’m sorry I’m not
 Your perfect little girl
 That you always wanted
 That you thought I’d be
 With all the friends
 And the four point O
 And the perfect boyfriend
 That does everything right
 And the best at everything I did
 Then I would partly
 Be like my brother
 Who was the popular one
 Who had good grades
 Who was great at what he did 
 Did I mention comparing?
 Well they might not say it to my face
 But I can tell 
 Tell that they’re thinking it
 That I might just be
 For now 
 A disappointment
 That I might not meet
 Their standards
