Not Perfect

by TheRevelation   Mar 27, 2008


Look at me, can't you see,
I"m not the best I could be,
I cry myself to sleep,
So loud, I weep,

Sticky tears on my cheeks,
Fatigue making my knees weak,
Maybe I need you to say,
That everything will soon be okay,

I'm not invincible, I break,
Wishing some strength would awake,
I wait in vulnerability, oh the pain,
It may cause me to go insane,

Look at the shock on your face,
Don't you know I am a waste,
I"m not perfect, oh just stop,
You can tell from what I've unlocked.

    A beautiful poem you've got here, m'dear. It's something I can say that I've been able to relate to at one point.

    "Sticky tears on my cheeks,"
    - personally, i don't like the usage of 'sticky'. it just sounds weird when i read it out loud. -shrugs- maybe it's just me. :P [i personally would have used the word 'crystal' - i think it sounds so beautiful when describing tears. :P]

    The flow was smooth, the emotions were sad and heartbreaking, and your word usage was wisely chosen. :] Lovely job. Overall: 5.5
