Footsteps patter and shake
the floor beneath where one awakes
Smile brighter than the sun and stars
Smiles worth galaxies that fill others hearts.

School, a matter of intelligence and grace
Where succeeding means more than having a place.
A place in social pyramids, influences and more
If you're not in the right place, it could do you harm.
But no one else knows, and nobody cares.
The rest only want to see what appears fair.
But appearance isn't everything,
And society disagrees.
They believe appearance is everything,
If only they could really see.
~
Society only has thoughts of negativity
Ones which you can't ignore.
Because acceptance is pretentious
It's for those of the pack.
The ones that believe, they will get loved back.
But only if they decide to do as they're told,
Then they will get loved alone.
~
But in the end no one cares for anyone.
And it's because of our beliefs.
We belive if we are perfect, one day we will be free.

Perky girl smiles, perky girl waves.
She wants the whole world, to think she's okay.
But it's just a show, and no one knows
The pain she feels inside.
The hatred that she feels in herself,
And no one knows why.
~
Perky girl, perky girl,
Where has she been?
She's been hating herself, for so many reasons.
For little things, like height and weight.
Things that are natural, she can't appreciate.
Because society taught her that hating was okay.
Society taught her that perfection was the way.
~
Perky girl decided she can't cooperate anymore.
She reached a decision that would become her cure.
She tried to be perfect, and lived through the pains
But when perfect kept changing, she wanted an escape.
She could no longer keep up with everything
She could no longer change.
She planned on an ending, that would forever change her fate.
~
Deep, dark, mysterious black.
That fills the eyes of all the past.
The surge of painless, endless relief,
From this messed up society that causes such greif.
~
Perky girl, perky girl,
You were never really there.
You were all about pretending, and now you're a nightmare.
~
Rest in Peace, perky girl.
We all will miss you so,
It pains me knowing that you decided you needed to go.
I wish you would've stayed, you were such a pleasure to have.
But the damage has been done, and now we live in your past.
