Picture of Perfection

Perfect by nature, isn't that what you expected of me. In a world that was never real. You know that I've got you fooled. I never was, and I never will be. You've betrayed me. You've made me become this wreck of a person. Lost in your sense of worth. You expectations of me have failed. I'm no longer your picture of perfection. Just a mistake. Somewhere across the line you know you have failed me. Torturing me day by day, your eyes haunting me. Burning a hold through my dreams. They are watching every step that I take, every move that I make. As if I can feel them pulling me down. Pushing me beyond the point of submission, your slave. My wounds cry for revenge, but I am only denied. My hopes are crushed and I will forvever be your failed picture of perfection.
