Perfect

The true fact is
No one
Is perfect
But somehow
There is a perfect image
For people 
To recreate
It's not fair
It unrealistic
And it's unachievable 
So 
Even though 
We
Try
To recreate
The 
“Perfect”
Image
We still 
Know we can’t

Which 
Leads us to
Doubt

This 
Image
Leads us to
A pretty
And
An ugly
It leads us to
A right 
And 
A wrong
It leads us to
A fat 
And
A skinny

The thing is
Everyone is looking 
For more
But what we 
have to
Accept 
Is that 
We already are 
That 
“Perfect”
Image 
Because
You
Are
You
And 
That 
Is what 
The 
Image tries to 
Tell us

It tries to scream
That you can't 
Believe
The still 
Images
When you don't know
The moving 
Background
You don't know
The tough
Behind 
The beautiful
You can't 
Tell yourself 
That there is
Someone 
Prettier
Because 
Everyone 
Has there 
Own standards
Everyone 
Has their own 
Ideas,
Opinions,
Beliefs
The only things that 
You
Can judge
Are your own
Ideas,
Opinions,
And 
Beliefs
So don't
Go 
Hurting
Other people
Based off of 
Your
Perfect 
Image

Page

do you ever
wish
that there was 
someone 
that knew you

that there was
someone who knew 
the pain
behind the
smile
the depression 
behind
the happy

the people 
who make
assumptions
are the people 
that you can’t
trust

it hurts more 
when someone 
gets to know you
but doesn’t realize 
the small hints
that you’re 
not okay
that your hurting
on the inside
or that you
hide your feelings
so that the others
think you are someone else
other than a depressed 
little nothing
who spills all their 
feeling to the ones that 
they feel comfortable with
and onto a page

it gets to the point 
where the page 
is the only thing
that helps numb 
the pain 

the best feeling is when 
the page listens 
it tells you 
that its 
going to be okay
that it is there
when you need it
the privacy 
of your feelings
kept safe
from the rest of 
the world

it tells you that
that weight 
on your shoulders 
can be lifted off 
and instead 
be put 
onto the page
for you 
to feel better 
and for 
you 
to feel
relief

Shadows

The sun 
Who lights up the day
The moon
Who lights up the night
They both get their chance
To shine
At some point
Maybe it's not your point
Yet 
Or maybe 
It 
Will never be your point 
Because 
Maybe one time
The sun
Won't
Shine
And we'll be stuck
In the dark
With no light
Nothing else
But darkness
The screams
The shouts
The panic
The pain
There was no light
All there was 
Was hope
That could be
Snatched away
In less 
Than a second
But that hope could stay
At least
For a while
Possibly 
Maybe
Probably
But after 
People start 
To vanish
It gets to the point where
It's 
Unlikely 
Improbable 
Questionable
Unconvincing 
And it's growing to be impossible 
To maintain 
That hope 

So you can try to stay in the light 
Until the darkness takes over
And you’re stuck 
In the shadows

Judge

Why does everyone
Have to judge 
Each other 
We 
We are all 
Humans
But somehow
somehow
We always think differently
Why does there have to be 
A right 
And a wrong
A skinny 
And a 
Fat 
A pretty 
And an
Ugly, 
Can there ever
Just be,
human
normal,
different
yet the same
Can there be someone
Someone who will listen
Is there a way to 
make
People like 
you
For who you are
If 
there Was no Makeup 
Or Something
To cover up 
The beauty
of 
you
Would people get used
To normal 
When they can
See the regular
You
Is there 
an easier Way 
To love
Each other 
Even if 
Their 
Body 
Isn’t Perfect
Or 
Their 
Face
Isn't what you thought
Can there 
Be 
A 
You 
In the world
That no one will
Judge?

Cuts

Love
What is it
Does it 
Have to be
From someone else
Or can it be for yourself
There isn't always that 
Though
There are cuts
And 
Scars 
And blood
That come from
That hate 
For yourself
It's not
Stress
It's hate
Pure hate
For
Yourself
When 
You don't feel good
Or when don't like
The way you look
So you  
Bleed
When you don't like
The way you act 
So you 
Bleed
When you don't like
The way the universe wants
You to live your life
You
Make
Yourself
Bleed
It's 
Relieving 
It's frightening 
But it helps
The cuts
And scars 
Help 
Even though 
You need help
They help

Jump

do you ever wish
you had someone
that would 
hold you
when you’re sad
or when you don’t feel
pretty enough 
or just don’t like who
you are

do you ever wish 
there was someone
to help you
when you needed it
or when you
couldn’t bear
yourself anymore
so you wished 
you could jump of
the brooklyn 
and just stay 
in the quiet

how peaceful 
would it feel
to have
the wind 
in your hair 
to have 
the cold 
surround you
while you drown
in silence

but then that someone
would come 
dive in
to find you

when you were trying 
to find yourself 
they found you first
