"perf" poems
my friend said she’s
Quirky
Angsty
And different
She’s not she’s insecure
And I don’t mean any offence bu that statement
But she thinks the chains around her neck make her appeal to her abuser
And the fact that she’s never, really, properly drunk and yet pretends she’s wild and has lives lives she hasn’t
She says “ if you ever need someone to be a crackhead I’m right here”
She’s not
She’s insecure
She has sisters
I have brothers
And although we’re no longer defined by genders I think we are now
She wants to be like her younger sister
But she’s not popular like her
She lacks for charisma
But is sweet and kind
She thinks “cage the elephant” is indie music
And thinks listening to the strokes makes her cool
And that turning of capital letters on her phone somehow makes her “not like other girls”
She’s wrong
I don’t do any of that **** and I don’t pretend to be quirky, angsty, and different
And all the boys prefer me.
And yet I’m insecure
She should go back to fan-girling over Shakespeare
And writing books and poetry for fun
You’re not
Quirky
Angsty
And different you’re just insecure
Ok yeah good. ? !
Got it perf.
Vibes. Cool,,, lel!’v

I will never forget the first time we look at each other,
Even if it's not in the eyes, but I knew it was love. It feels like it's love.
I will never forget the way you make me fall into the deepest sea,
Even if you just do the stupid things, but it feels like it's love.
I will never forget the sound of your creepy laughs and swear words, most people harassed you, but I feel it love.
I will never forget how the sun shines for you, make that smile looks brighter then the sun itself.
I will never forgethow the heat of the sun strikes down your face and make you sweaty and it's hotter than hell.
I will never forget the rain slams on your pomaded hair, make you didn'r wanna go so far away for the streets that we used to pass.
And I will never forget how crazy I've fallen in love with you,
Anything you do, no matter how may problems you've made, all the words that slips from your mouth,
It's such a beautiful things that I've ever learned.
I just can't thank to every single objects that makes you look extremely perf,
The pale of your fingertips, the crooked teeth, and a cringe smile.
I will never forget,
How I sink into your deepest dame, 'til I sink into your love I crave.

You're a ******** *****
Aiming to be (as we all are) rich.
You're brazen and bold,
With a heart of tarnished gold.
Subdued, yet still a wild thing.
Struggling, but learning.
You're growing quicker than I realize;
Your mature-immaturity still comes as a surprise.
You lead a charmed life,
Yet it's challenged with strife.
It's hard to accept that things
Can't be as perf as diamond rings.
But one day it'll click
Like a heavy sack of bricks.
And you'll understand that Life
Is merely a show,
Filled with people and places that come and go.

I am frustrated with myself
Y won't I change myself?
I do all the work on myself
But I still am not getting the results I want from myself
Who I am now is not enough to be self
I need more of myself
To expand into more of myself
but still I can't bring change through myself
I am age deaf
Deaf to the inevitable success brewing in myself,
Something mischievous is working against my self
Maybe an elf
That doesn't want to be a shelf
Holding onto parts that remind me of the inadequacies of my knife
I can't cut through to release myself
I desperately want to rebrand myself
So I can differentiate from my past self
I am tired of proving this new self
Her existence stranger to her own self
All she wants to be is high on life it self
Which always reflects back her divinity in herself
Ooo the pains of being so focused on myself
I can't get enough of all this attention on myself
From myself
All my problems a delight to marinate on oneself
Isolated from the world's problems watching from the topself
I have to solve my own problems before I can focus on your self
Ooo but my lonesome can't stand figuring all this out by myself
I guess that's y we split up and branched out to explore our self
So we can share different possibilities to free my self
And your self
So we can remember the freedom of being non self.
So goodbye not self
I tried but I can't bring myself
To act in your behalf
With you I can't laugh
I'd rather be the staff of my higher self
My lowerself is betting on the neck of this giraffe,
You don't give an F,
But you will when you realize you're nomore 12.
These cycles won't break themselves.
So let's rev
And meet our best self
It's OK to lean into help
You don't need to pay for this soul hotel
Drink up from this well
So confusion you expell
Clarity your gut smells
Your present self is perf
You just gotta remember your true self
God herself within you dwells
So give up the struggle, time to rebel
No need to repel
What is true in this melt
Your soul awakens to help your human compell
You already have the wealth
Like the clothes you've been dealt

I don't love you because you're perf
I love you because you are perfect
I don't love you because we like totally enjoy the same movies
I love you because you take a little from me and I from you
I don't love you because you hold my heart softly in your hands
I love you because I feel your rough fingers pumping my blood
I don't love because of your soft teenage kisses
I love you because of my unforgettable desire to press your lips against mine
I don't love you because you're the one for me
I love you because out of all the people I've met,
You aren't the one
You are the everything

What am i
What am i
What am i
What am i
I don't know
Do you?
Apparently I'm nice
And loving
And careful
And motherly
And funny
And perf
But I don't see that
I see
I'm tired
And scared
And lonely
And frustrated
And angry
Are we seeing different people?
