I am alone
I will never say
I am surrounded by people who love me.
It simply is a lie.
When I say I disappoint everybody
Nobody can deny it
Let me tell you the truth
My parents despise me
I'm not honest when I say
My parents are proud of me.
I can safely say
I will never be good enough.
I will never speak these words:
I am
Strong.
Smart.
Pretty.
Capable.
Loved.
That's not the truth, I really am
Weak.
Stupid.
Ugly.
Hopeless.
Hated.
You lie when you say I'm
Perfect.
Now Read From The Bottom, Up!
Perfection was written after getting into an argument with my mom, as I was getting bullied by my peers, and by her. We had a huge talk, and so that's why I decided to write Perfection. It was a way of showing the two sides to my feelings, and the way people's words and actions can affect people.
