deception of perfection

call an ambulance--

she is drowning

in perfection.

with bronze skin

red lips

blonde hair

that always seems

to just work for her.

her laugh fills the room

but it means nothing

in her ears

because she knows

it is always fake.

fake

fake

fake

just like her

she is lifted

and carried

into the truck

with the

blaring sirens

i watch as

an innocent

bystander

as she slips further

and continues to

drown in her flaws

that no one else

seems to see

how foolish was i

to ever wish for

beauty and perfection

how foolish was i

to ever think that

i would finally be

society's definition

of beautiful

because a beautiful

body, can also mean

a hideous soul

she is being destroyed

by the very thing

that had created her

why?

why is destroying herself?

spending so long in the

bathroom, doing things

that no one seems to notice

just so she can look "pretty"

that is not beautiful;

that is just ugly.

but society does not give a damn

because as long as you look good

it does not matter how you for there

and people will stop calling you out

on the things that make you look bad

so you will just continue destroying

the person you once were

and become the person you are now

she was once a lovely person

kind and caring and smart

but now she has forgotten

how to give a fuck

about anyone and anything

except for herself and that

dream of being pretty

it is not her fault now is it?

that everyone made her feel

uglier than she had been

she was once beautiful

but after trying so hard

you can see the outline

of the hideousness

that takes over her.

call an ambulance--

she is drowning

in ugliness
