I am not perfect

Even if you want me to be

I have emotions

I have flaws

Don't yell at me

If I'm sad from time to time

I have mood swings

I get mad

I may not do what I'm told

When I'm told

Take it on good faith

It will happen

I take care of four kids

Only one is my brother

I do most of the gross chores around the house

While I don't “bring home the bacon”

So to speak

I still do a lot

I'm in high school

During a time of adjustment

And I don't adjust well

So just calm down

Appreciate what I do

Instead of getting mad

About what I don't

Because I have feelings

I'm not perfect

And frankly

I don't wanna be
