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.
