Perfect
Haven
21 Mar, 2018 03:26 AMTo the ones who call me perfect To the ones that worship the ground I walk on To the ones whose days wouldn’t work without me To the ones that believe I am their everything To the ones who believe I have a perfect life Listen to what I am about to say Listen loud and clear What I am about to say is the truth What I am about to say is hard to hear I am not the perfect girl you see You should not worship the ground I walk on I ensure you that your days will still go on without me You will find another everything My life is far from perfect I am the girl who cries I am the girl who cuts I am the girl your parents warn you about I am the girl you learn about I am the one with depression I am the one who wishes she could die I am the one who dreams of happiness I am the one who has a trouble of riding loneliness I am the one who cries herself to sleep I am the one who hides behind her beautiful painted mask The mask that no one dares to remove The mask that sits and hides the brokenness underneath Her face so broken and worn That if she were to remove her mask No one would dare recognize her So she keeps her plastered smile and fake little laughs She keeps them to fool the world Keeps them to lie to herself She so desperately wants to be normal That she hides her brokenness underneath

Your poems get me so much. Perfection is a perception. People see what they want to see, they don't try to look through to see it's just a mask. Unmask yourself and you'll be free.
