Point of View

by Startle Me   Feb 28, 2007


Striving for excellence everyday
Exterior perfect, interior hell
Have to have everything right
Always everyday, compelled

Perfection, rightness, precision
Have to have it every time
Superior I am, mediocre I am not
To be inferior is a crime

The face of porcelain mask
So perfect and so pure
The broken heart you have
Fixation it will endure

Fake smile painted on
With white teeth and red lips
Intelligence with as well
The grade she has, she skips

At night, depression hits
No friends does she have
They are all perfect and fake
Just alike her laugh

Hoping one day to be able to smile
The mask off that smile so true
No one would ever under stand
They have to see it from point of view

    You have a serious gift, never stop writing.. Most people try to do that but they end up sounding all the same, but you have your own original style to say something everyone else was trying to say...

    This was pretty good but...I dunno, in between the good lines and appropriate wording there was a few words/lines that seemed off. But it was still good. Well done.
