Miss Perfect
Who has everything going for her, always achieving her goals and striving for more.
She has a fantastic family who watch over her, support her, give her anything she needs.
Not only a family, but a lover! At 23? to have a fiance?? Wow she has really got everything going for her.
She's so headstrong - intimidating even, thats so admirable. She is always so motivated, never letting her mind stray from what she wants.
She's going to have a great life.
But what they don't know,
what they don't see
are the ***** imperfections
the scars
the pulling of her skin and hair
the cuts
the blood
the waking up in cold sweats
the s c r e a m i n g
the crying, crying, crying,
the plan, written out in full with a date stamped on the front
the pain
the insults ripping through her mind every second of every day
They don't really see her, at all.
Just what they want to see.
