Masked 'perfection' <3
Hiding from the world
Showing my true identity
My true self
Twirling around
A stranger for the night
Losing who they think I am
Submitting to this true façade
The pressure to be perfect
Is gone
I’ve lost the stress
Blown it away
With kisses to the wind
People see me
Not for who
They think I am
But for who
I wish
I could be
Nameless
Anonymous
The center of no attention
The time passes too quickly
My midnight has come
I rush from the masked perfection
Only to become
Who I am
Forced to be
‘Miss Perfect’
Never taking risks
Fitting into the cookie-cutter
I hold close
Who I will
Become
When I can finally
Run away from this
Stressed ‘perfection’
I will always keep my mask
That lets you see
The real me
