Perfection is happiness Sitting in class it's so silent We are supposed to be writing poems But what is a poem... Does it have rules Do I have to rhyme And have rhythm Or can I just write about whatever the **** I feel like Can I just share these feelings that are weighing me down They feel like stones on my chest Slowly crunching me to my death I cry myself to sleep every night because I don't know who to tell... I want to tell someone, anyone who would listen But I stop because the words taste so sour on my lips So I run away and hide I run to my room and hide those feelings in that drawer That drawer that is crammed full of feelings and sad thoughts Because we are supposed to be happy... So I try to live like society always being happy never telling or showing anyone who I really am Because who would like me If I told them that I am depressed and broken and have scars so deep that I will never heal Would would love me if I told you that... Would you? Well I don't think you would because I don't even love myself I can't remember the last time I looked in the mirror and smiled at my reflection... That fat all over my body Those pimples Why can't they all be gone I want to be perfect Because u can only be happy when you're perfect right? That's what we are taught as little kids It's so sad and sicken I just to open that draw and throw those feeling up in the air cause I don't give a **** anymore I want to run up and show everyone my scars To yell at them and cry because I'm tired of hiding I want to be free of this weight But instead of sharing it with anyone I'm just sitting here writing a poem that will end up in the drawer And if the teacher calls on me I will just not answer because I'm scared to share this with u...
