Imperfectly Sane Poem by Rebecca Pepper

The worlds painted in so many different tones
The skin doesn't fit these changing bones
You're on your feet but feel like you're kneeling
Do you know that awful feeling?

You see what they are, how they act
And you think 'that's what I lacked'
So you try to mould into their life
Cut old habits with that cold knife

But still you feel like you're not quite there
Like you're the only on that breathes this air
And you feel imperfect, you feel so lost
So you destroy your heart to pay that cost

You find things easy now you have their dreams
And everything is so perfect or so it seems
But you don't care for different anymore
Without a thought you abide the law

Once you thought you weren't here
And now you found that you were so near
To finding that completely correct way
The perfection that you looked for everyday

You were so close but now so very far
Because now you have the same scar
You gave your heart to be the same
Now you realise you were the only one sane
