Perfect Child Poem by Genevieve Pilat
Perfect Child
The perfect child she has become
A mask to show the world
She smiles and seems to everyone
The perfect and happy girl.
The grades, the friends, the family
And looks that are to die
Yet hidden underneath that perfect mask
Is someone who tends to cry.
Take away that perfect mask
Of plastic and of porcelain
And there you’ll see a wounded soul
Filled with lies and sin.
Pressure, hate, anxiety
The feelings full of sorrow
Depression, longing, suffering
Will there be a new tomorrow?
She tries to show the entire world
The life they want from her
Yet deal with what she truly is
They don’t even want to bother.
She hides the identity of herself
And wears a false masquerade
Trying to please the ones she loves
And hoping to find a way.
Yet now I say to look at her
Upon her frozen grave
A perfect child now gone and lost
From those who didn’t save.
And there you’ll see a wounded soul Filled with lies and sin. Pressure, hate, anxiety The feelings full of sorrow Depression, longing, suffering She hides the identity of herself- - you are very sincere in writing about your own true identity. you are a bold person. you face yourself- break the masks and show who you are..or else oneday it will break you. a fine theme you are portraying. thank you very much.
