Perfectly Imperfect

   Everyone's words strike like a knife

All these expectations to change, leaving me stuck in strife.

Am I really ugly?

Or am I perfectly imperfect?

The comments to change

Feels nothing but strange

One moment I'm being myself

The next I'm throwing myself on a shelf

The once funny, crazy, childish person I was

Turned into a teenager with nothing left but a lonely buzz.

The happy child i used to be

Is no longer me.

The little girl my mother used to sing to

Turned into something brand new.

A teenager who does nothing but cry alone.

She's nothing but a clone.

The once confident little girl

Is no longer a pearl

Instead, she's worried about her looks,

The same girl who used to love books.

That young girl who loved everything

Is nothing but, a girl with a broken wing.

The girl that thought she was pretty

Is nothing but pity

The once perfect child

Is nothing but wild

The girl who smiled at strangers

Hides behind a fake face full of dangers.

The once perfect daughter

Fell into the deepest water

The once innocent child

Turned extremely mild

After years the girl turned from perfect to imperfect with just a few words
