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.
