Faking Perfection

December 8, 2012

Driven by success

She falls flat on the floor

Faking this perfection

She can't take it anymore



With a smile on her face

But tears in her heart

She holds herself together

While tearing herself apart



Where does she run to

When there's nowhere left to hide?

The only thing she thinks of

Is the razor at her side



When she screams out

No one is listening

She turns to her side

The red glistening



She sings softly to herself

A sweet little lullaby

While she's counting all the ways

All the ways she could die

I hope that when people read this, they'll realize that they're not alone. I want anyone who feels depressed to read this and at least feel a little bit better knowing there's someone out there feeling the same way.
