Be Mindful

Perfection is so overrated
They love you today while yesterday you were being hated
Perfect from outside looking in
While behind closed-door razor rips through the skin
Next thing you know, perfection is missing
All is left is the harsh criticism
Judge not, you might hurt someone’s feeling 
And that someone may just stop believing
All the dreams and aspirations that was in clear view
Are now ashes and smoke but if only you knew
Pain comes easy from bruises and blisters
But it hurt more from the words that you whisper
When you part those lips and the words are free
You  cannott take them back before they get to me
