Perfect Girl

Went to learn Went to school Got all A's Got great things Found a college Found some friends We all applied We all got in Continued school Continued life Lost a job Lost control Grew afraid Grew anxious Locked myself away Locked my hobbies Up again Up all day Plucking hair Plucking away fear Applied for a job Applied again Didn't get accepted Didn't get in Deep breath Deep moans Run away Run on home Hid for a while Hid from life Escaped the truth Escaped from strife Suppose I'll come back Suppose I'll try again Maybe tomorrow Maybe give in Seemingly perfect Seemingly fair Life is strict Life is square. Try one more time Try for myself Urged on by family Urged on in want of wealth Completely unchanged Completely stagnant Tears leave stains Tears evaporated Perfect child Perfect flaws Child... Flaws...
