Wondering if its worth it.
I’m the perfect girl. Straight A’s. Sporty ways. Got my whole life set in place. Confident. Social queen. Always smiling, always seen. The girl you go to when things go wrong. The one who listens all day long. Perfect family. Perfect smile. Perfect image all the while. But… I miss the days when I was smart, not just pressure playing a part. Now my heart pounds, my thoughts disappoint. One wrong move, and I’m the point.

Perfect Girl
I know you didn't ask for this The yelling crying anger hatred I know I've said I hate you many times I know I've caused you pain I know you feel like you failed me But Mother I Love You.

Over it
“Why so quiet? they ask when your thoughts feel too heavy to hold. “It’s not that deep,” they say when you finally find the courage to speak. “Smile more,” they laugh, while your heart quietly breaks. “Why so happy?” they question on a rare day the sun reaches you. No matter the volume of your voice, no matter the shape of your face, no matter the way you exist, it’s never quite right for someone. And still, the world keeps watching, keeps weighing, keeps judging.

Never quite right
Inside I break yet I'm still smiling still working still going still living still standing still surviving still shutting out still concealing still acting
