Perfect

Perfect

Straight-cut hair, no split ends
Contact lenses, perfect friends
A curved, thin body, manicured nails
Sure of every step, no desire to fail

Straight A grades (studies every night)
Fragile and cute (doesn't know how to fight)
Neat handwriting (but no creativity)
Striving to be best (gets 4 hours of sleep)

A porcelain doll face (only 2 hours worth of makeup)
Tight, outlining clothing (the perfect little sl_t)
Colorful as a candy wrapper (should be, 10 people helped her out)
A wonderful optimism (every day is full of doubt)

She puts up such a lovely facade
And we all love to see the show
But she suffers much deeper
Than anyone knows

Has the perfect parents (from them does she hide)
Looks her very best (cries on the inside)

This girl is screaming and no one hears
No one will stay behind to wipe away her tears
She sits on the toilet seat and pulls out a razor
She starts off at her stomach (nothing can phase her)

One by one, each red drop dries
In a while she starts to cry

She's such an illusion
Causing confusion
When nobody listens
She finds out what she's missing

And through her teary eyes
She decides to stop trying to deny
The ways in which she lied
It's time to stop her cries

Maybe one day she will see the light
Right now she has to battle in her own fight
Maybe some day she will recover
But for right now she just needs someone to love her
