Burning Out
Perfect my appearance,
Perfect what I say.
Fake a pretty smile,
Until the act starts to fray.
Make a little 'Sorry',
My new favorite word.
Apolagise to the me,
Society would have preferred.
Make constant mistakes,
Though I never learn.
Stumbling through life,
Taking all the wrong turns.
Which way is right?
What did you expect?
Look what has happened,
When I tried to be perfect.
I'm hurting all the wrong people,
Because I build up the pain.
I don't let it out,
Instead I burn in the rain.
