Writing Wednesday #23

A poem

Hello! I thought I'd share a poem with y'all that I wrote awhile back. It was inspired by a friend of mine. 

Everyone looked at the girl in a perfect blue dress 

She looked like perfection would be less 

She loved her family and they loved her back 

And for making friends she had a knack

She was perfect in every sense 

No one ever called her dense. 

If you asked her she would say she was fine 

In every way she seemed to shine. 

But once she breaks away from everyone with a sigh 

She goes by herself and has a cry 

Because even though she might look perfect 

Inside she is really quite wrecked. 

She holds a lot of hurt inside 

And she has no one in which to confide. 

Her heart hurts so much she thinks it will break 

When people call her perfect more pain does wake 

Because she knows she's just as flawed as the rest 

And she's been through just as hard of a test 

She try's to tell them all that she is flawed 

But they are all still by her awed. 

They refused to acknowledge she is not what they think 

And know that she is on the brink. 

She cry's in her room all alone 

All because they refuse to own 

That she really is not as perfect as she seems 

She is still the perfect girl in their dreams.
