This Girl is Perfect
She's a broken girl
Not on the outside--oh no.
On the outside, she is perfect.
Shiny.
Pulled together.
On the inside, however, she is crumbling.
It's an avalanche in her chest
but no amount of makeup or hairspray or pushup bras or toned muscles can mask
the decaying state of her sanity.
She tries so hard to smile
as her hollow screams echo around inside of her chest.
They're so desperate to get out
but she smothers them.
Because no one can see her crack--oh no.
That's not an option,
because this girl is perfect.
And it's going to stay that way.
