Perfection
PICTURE PERFECT
THAT’S WHAT THEY ALL WANT ME TO BE
PICTURE PERFECT
LIKE THE GIRLS ON TV
PICTURE PERFECT
DREAM NOT
WISH NOT
FEEL NOT.
NO SELFISHNESS OR SIN
NO WAY TO GET OUT OR GET IN
TO MY HIDE AWAY
MY SECRET HIDE AWAY,
A PLACE WHERE THE WORLD DISAPPEARS
AND THE PRESSURE TO BE
SMART OR SOPHISTICATED
CREATIVE OR INSANE
OR NORMAL OR UNLIKE ME IN ANYWAY!!!
IS GONE.
ALL THAT REMAINS IS WHO I AM
TO BAD SO SAD
NO PLACE LIKE THIS DOES EXIST
THERE’S NO PLACE I CAN GET AWAY
FROM THE PAIN OF BEING PERFECT
THERE’S NO WAY THAT EVERYONE WILL LOVE THE REAL ME
AND THERE’S NO WAY TO TEST THAT THEORY AND SEE…
THE ONLY OPTION….
PERFECTION.
