Perfect MAG
I close my eyes,
fall back into my mold while you tighten the rope.
The chains around my neck keep strong hold,
so lead me and I'll follow.
You tell me what you want from me,
you take me where you want to go.
I do everything you could ever want -
I dress to impress, I smile to kill.
Such a shame that it's not real.
My heart breaks, my smile fakes the emotions that I will never feel.
I gravely bear my jilted crown,
await the day my guard goes down.
And even it it's not worth it
I'll just wear my smile.
After all, my life is perfect.

Her heart was an open book with beautiful pages and detailed lettering. She wanted people to read her story in hopes that it would make them write their own. Instead, every person who came across the pages of her heart ripped out their favorite story and took it with them. They folded back pages and bent up corners. They signed their name with sloppy writing and with a simple 'goodbye'. This book is now tucked away in the darkest parts of her, because no one wants to read a tragic story with a bad ending.
