Finding Faults

I have been trying to color within the lines of my colour book. 
Make sure that my hands don't cross any borders. 
I have been trying to write my alphabets within the lines.
Trying to keep my wayward pencil from moving out of the margin.
I have dotted my i's and crossed my t's.
But still I feel I have left something undone.
You are good at finding my faults,
do tell me if I am wrong.

I have been trying to keep myself from speaking.
My slurred speech has many mistakes.
I have been trying to say how I feel.
But the words get lost in my mind.
I learnt the letters by heart and recite them everyday.
Yet I feel my memory will abandon me.
You are good at finding my faults,
do tell me if I am wrong.

I have been trying to put my clothes on.
The kind that you approve.
I am covering myself up from others.
I suppose I am only yours to see.
I think I look proper.
But my errors have been many.
You are good at finding my faults,
do tell me if I am wrong.

I am trying to step within the boundaries.
The boundaries that you have set up for me.
I am trying to remain within the walls.
The walls that were erected by you.
I think I have followed all rules you setup.
But I have made mistakes before.
You are good at finding my faults,
do tell me if I am wrong.
