Perfect

Dear Mom,
It's getting really hard to live
For someone who won't forgive
I'm sorry that I slaughter
The image of a perfect daughter
My self-esteem is already low
You're not helping you know
My heart is full of guilt
Behind the walls I built
You hate what's inside
I just want to hide
I wish I'd never let you in
You hate me and all my sin
You woke up one day to see
That you no longer know me
I'm so sorry
That I'm not

This is so powerful!! I can feel your pain, almost as though you were sitting in front of me telling me these things yourself...Stay strong!! I know we don't know each other, but I hate when people are in pain... I am here if you need anyone to talk to...
