Perfection Isn't Me (And Never Was)

She was always the one,
The goody-good-for-nothing,
"I'll tell on you,
For not being me,
Me please!
I know!"
(doesn't she always)
I don't think they notice,
she doesn't want to be perfect,
Little Miss Perfect,


Little Miss Broken,
doesn't have an answer this time,
Out of smart answers,
Out of lame ones too,
She's given up on everyone,
they all think the same,
She's given up on herself,
Little Miss Suicide,
that's what they'll call her,


Why they say these things,
beyond what she thinks is ok,
She's hurting,
yet the keep on taunting,
What more could she say?

She changed her image,
put on long black dresses,
chalk white face,
blood red lips,
skipped class,
Stole,
smoked hash,
drank Absynthe,
swore,
turned apathetic,
listened to blood red romance,
suicide calls,

Little Miss Perfect,
Not anymore,
Little Miss Strange
is what they say now,
Locked up in spite of herself,
She did everything in her power to change,

But still all they saw
was what she was,
Tainted for life she was,
for deep inside their minds she'll never be
anything more more than Little Miss Perfect,

Author notes

This is a poem in third person but is about me and how I was that person, changed and remained the same to those whom do not matter,

    Wow this is a really well written poem. It makes me think of all those kids that change just because other people that say stuff about them. We shouldnt b afraid of who we are just be ourselves. I like this because its saying to realize who you are.

    :)

    this is pretty good
    just one thing
    in the beginning
    you say 'I'll tell on you.... I know!'
    but then you go back to third person. it's a bit confusing
    but otherwise its pretty good
