The finish line

I've read all I need to
From the look on the mirror
It's getting much clearer to me
And others around
That I'm not who I say
But maybe just for today, I am

Perfection's not guaranteed
'Cause I don't know what I need
Work in progress, it seems / This is me

I'm not gonna stop you
From wanting much better
For needing to weather this storm
Of assurances broken
That's swarming our senses
Breaking down our defenses again
