and smile through everything, 

when pain is so intertwined with existence.

How dare you throw stones and point at their mistakes 

without even admitting to your own

I did not intend for any of you to be perfect 

so why must you preach purity to see pearly gates.  

I did not ask you to be perfect and pure 

I didn't even ask you to be good

I just wanted you to be happy.
