Perfect
That's what you want me to be
I'm not perfect
I will never be
You want me to be
What I'm not
You want me to follow
Things I don't believe
You want me to be normal
You want me to be society's slave
But I'm myself
I'm different
No one is Perfect
Yet you scold me when you say I'm not
You pretend I'm happy
But honestly I'm not
You say that you've saved me
But you're the one who killed me
You say you cared
But I don't believe a word
They were there
When you weren't
They helped me
When you couldn't
Your words hurt
Worthless
Ugly
Stupid
I took them all to heart
I was t perfect
You weren't either
Neither were they
Nobody is perfect
I've said it before
Than why do I feel
Like I must be perfect
Late at night
You lie in your bed
Telling yourself you have done well
Telling yourself you are right
You are wrong
You hurt me
You didn't save me
You're the reason I'm in pain
You sent me away
Thought you could change me
Refused to listen
Called me a freak
You said I was a sinner
You said I was a mistake
That I would burn
That I was awful
When others ask about me
You say that I was raised well
I wasn't
It's all a lie
That smile on my face
It's just a cover
I'm not happy
I'm not joyous
I'm in pain
I'm hurt
I'm dead
I'm scared
Your words were like knives
Your actions like swords
Expressions like fists
You beat me up bad
As I cry out for help
In an empty void
A pit of darkness
I remember how you hurt me
