I tried so hard to be perfect
Perfect in every way
So hard I tried
I tried everyday
You said I wasn’t good
NO not good ENOUGH
But your words taught me
YES taught me to be TOUGH
Every time I cried
Cried myself to SLEEP
I would fall in the hole
The hole that was so DEEP
So many times I thought
Thought of taking my LIFE
So many times I thought
Thought of using the KNIFE
One day it hit me
Hit me in the face
That there was a better
Far better place
I left the HURT
The hurt and PIAN
And told my self never
Never to go back there AGAIN!

I would like to translate this poem
Really important issue here, having the courage to face the 'hole' and realize that after all, when there is nothing left to cry about, life begins, LIFE calls, and stronger we face a better day.
