Poster Child For Perfection Poem by Silence Dogood

I wish you'd look at me
See past the surface to deep within
Forget my false smile
And look deeper than skin

For inside me
Buried deep in my heart
Is a sea of troubles
That pulls me apart

But you never notice
You can sense I'm not okay
But you get annoyed even mad
And it lasts all day

Until I give up
And disspear to a place in my head
Where I can be anybody and anything
I could even be dead

And it's these trouble you look past
That eat me inside
Swallowing all hopes and wants
Until I'm begging to die

And I'm sorry it's like this
But you refuse to see
I'm the poster child for perfection
So I'm claimed to be

But outside appearences
Can easily lie
They can cover your mistakes
And allow you to hide

But a day will come
When all masks will be gone
And you'll say to yourself.
What went wrong?
