Little do they know

You are full of grace,  they said Little do they know I am actually full of disgrace.   You are the best out of all,  they said Little do they know I tried so hard to be the best Till I don't even remember the reason why I try. You are beautiful,  they said Little do they know My heart is stained by dirt, trying to make my outer self,  beautiful. You are innocent, they said Little do they know I do things behind their back.   You are slim,  they said Little do they know The diet and overtraining behind it.   When you must be became you are,   That's when this poetry, Actually make sense.   Society pressured us To become the person They think is the best.   Little do they know,   They are slowly destroying us,   Slowly... Killing us.
