Perfect, A word I hear everyday
Everywhere I go that’s what people say
I can’t be perfect no matter how hard I try
I want to quit life, because I can't stand to cry
You say that you are always there for me
But you still say I’m perfect, just let me be
I’m alone in life no one cares
I try to get used to all the stares
The tears help me go to sleep at night
Sometimes I don’t want to wake to see the daylight
Life, is a scary word to hear
I hate what I see when I look in the mirror
Why does perfect and me go together?
When I hear it, I say “never”
No one can know how I feel
I just hope that I can learn how to deal
Brandon says get help, but I think it’s too late
I just can't stand this world filled with hate
Why is it everyone assumes the best?
It’s like my life is a big test
If it isn’t perfect my parents are mad
Because of them I’m always sad
I know I shouldn’t blame
But because of them I put my head down in shame
Poetry is one way I have learned to cope
Should I live? The answer is nope.
Maybe if I stop eating, I’ll die
Then I’ll never again have to cry
Some people will listen to what I have to say
They help me get through day by day
I just want to die, all this to end
I love you all who stayed my friend
Through thick and thin you’d try to be there
But in the end, I still don’t know if you care
I know I should be the one to want to eat
Between life and me, I’ve been beat
People say tiny when they talk about me
I wish people would forget and let me be
Or if they really care, they should know
Something’s wrong, weight loss is beginning to show
The thoughts I have people would call insane
My tears fall like pouring rain
This life I live is not the best
I have failed my final life test
The end to hearing I’m perfect again
The end to feeling like eating is a sin.

You brought me back to my own teen years. This is well written. You have conveyed the angst of trying to be the "perfect" daughter so well. Keep writing.

so nice and so burtally honest.
-.- i know exactly what you're talking about.
i've been dealing with these issues myself.
-everyone does-
you're not alone.
(how many times have you heard that one?)
and even if this really isn't about you,
and a situation dealing with this inspired your poem,
that's okay. because someone who reads this knows,
they know exactly what you mean.
and you helped them
:)
keep writing.
You have a beautiful soul. |

| Maybe you are too absorbed in your problems and don't notice enough, your blessings. Some people live their whole lives, blind, or deaf, or cripple, or--- well, you see what I mean. |
