Not So Perfect

by Beth   Oct 20, 2005


Shes in a room full of people
who laugh and pretend
that they all know her
and call her a friend

but if you take one step back
and look in real deep
all that youll see
is a girls truth asleep

she walks around smiling
and no one would know
that just the night before
she wanted to go

you tell her your problems
and she crys inside
cause she always helps you
but herself she hides

she\'d ask for you help
but doesnt know how
so she wont say a thing
at least not for now

you may never know
unless its to late
and you would never have guessed
that she'd plan such a date

so take time to listen
but more importantly to see
that even in her perfect smile
perfect might not be

she might not ever say it
but deep inside youll know
this girl with a perfect life
has a lot more left to show

so every time you see her
let her know you care
and even if she doesnt talk
let her know your there

    Love it...especially the last line. I was expecting the girl to kill herself in the end or something like in most poems like this..but this one took a different turn, I liked that =)
