Not so Perfect.

by Megann Lee   Oct 26, 2005


Long black hair, to cover my shoulders.
Bright blue eyes, to look at you with.
Perfect skin and a perfect face.
Accompanied by the perfect fake life.

The perfect long sleeved shirts.
To hide my perfectly placed scars.
To cover my perfectly cut, cuts.
To keep my already warm skin warmer.

The perfect smiles upon my perfect face.
A perfect frown to fit my real sadness.
The fake happy life I live.
A perfect tear sliding down my cheek.

The perfect drops of blood.
That splatter across my room
With each perfect incision on my wrists.
Laying my perfect body on my bed.

I lay there, slowly dieing.
Dripping my perfect blood on my white bed.
Losing all feeling becoming limp and lifeless.
No more faking no more perfectness.

Truthfully, I was not perfect
No one is perfect.
And for the people who thought I was.
Can you see now how imperfect I actually am?

My perfect soul is now at peace.
Just a perfect body strewn neatly across her bed.
Followed by the last drop of blood.
Slowly dripping to the floor.

For all those people who think they are perfect, your really not...

    You seem to use alot of description in your poems, and most of the time, its a good thing, but some times, its nice to keep it simple, leave things to the imagination. otherwise, your poems seem heavy and hard to read...remember, keeping your peom short and or simple, can get the point across alot better then a poem that is long and heavily sophisticated. 4/5

    I think i already commented on this one but i didnt do a very good job so here is what i think!!

    "My perfect soul is now at peace. Just a perfect body strewn neatly across her bed. Followed by the last drop of blood. Slowly dripping to the floor."

    THIS IS MY FAVORITE LINE!! it was amazing!! the flow was good and the topic i really liked!! But i think that everyone is perfect just in their own way!!! 5/5!!

    I agree with a couple comments up there... every one is perfect in their own way. I think you might be directing this towards people who think they are soo great... people who are full of themselves? i dont know, maybe im wrong.. but i really liked this poem... its definately the best one by you so far. "My perfect soul is now at peace. Just a perfect body strewn neatly across her bed. Followed by the last drop of blood. Slowly dripping to the floor." That was my favorite line in your poem.. and in my veiw the strongest. 5/5 -jen-
