Tell me it's okay
If I'm not perfect
Because even though you tell me I'm beautiful
I feel so ugly inside
My eyes are the only feature that I feel
Are worth even noticing
But they are full of pain
I'm fat as you can tell
My hair gets knotty and annoying
I want to fade away
Lose myself from this life
What will it take to make myself fade?
Forever is where I hope to be
Fading into the dark as if it were natural
I want to always be with you
But I want you to be happy to
Nothing makes me fade away
I want to so badly
I stand alone in the rain
Hoping it will never end
Slowly but surely it will wash away
Every single one of my cells
I'll fade away in what I love
With you in my heart
Take my heart and keep it tight
Don't let it go
Salvage it so that when I die
Maybe someone will remember

a very dark,sad but good write, once again i am amazed at an entry in a contest for not so good writers and yet this is exelent, it makes the reader feel the sorrow and to wan tto hold a hand out to pat your hand and say ,you will be ok
anything that can make the reader feel strong emotions as this does is a very good write, unfortunately i cant applaud it and give favour as i would if it were not in my contest

I was about to say: Hey I can relate...but in a way I can--not completely. Only these few words: "Tell me it's okay
If I'm not perfect"
