Annalyse Matthews: Favorites

If you ever feel rejected by perfection,
know that perfection isn't even an invention.

Perfection only exists in the eyes of critics,
in the imagination of teenage girls,

in the harsh judgements of your surrounding,
and in the person you someday wish to become.

Here is a thing
you might not know
that harshness, touch too much selfishness,
maybe even a mean streak,
can all be let
go

I have no...
(self-boundaries)
...means of changing.

It's not my fault, I...
(place blame)
...didn't mean to lie.

Why should I try, I will...
(believe in nothing)
...eventually die.

All the underground people...
(your ancestors and mine)

...Do they remember
Being alive?

Peace

Though I walk among the shadows of death,
There is still life among my breathe.
The still waters not shaken,
My soul will not be taken.
