The perfect imperfection of life

A cheerful girl, she once was

A perfect family she thought she has

The reality of life she sees now, at last

But she wished it didn't reveal itself too fast

The happy family she thought was actually broken

The perfect family act was just pretend

Time's up; the hour glass' bottom, now full of sand

The little girl didn't know that it would hurt this bad

Now she realizes that she was alone

The perfect life she imagined was now gone

Blown by the wind, scattered in all directions

Part of the broken promises that goes on and on

A dream, that's what it is

A tragedy, that's on the list

A scheme they made me believe

A show, that's what they made me see

Reality dawned on me in a snap

The transition was sudden, it didn't leave a gap

They fed me with lies and I want to throw up

They made me believe that I was on top

The perfect life was now imperfect

The monstrosity, she didn't know how she could neglect

She didn't know it would pose as such a threat

She was wrong for it was now killing her and everyone else
