Chaos

Some people call me perfect
Perfect student
Perfect person
Perfect daughter

They haven't looked
Beneath the surface
At what lies below
Trying to escape

There's more to me
Than meets the eye
Something lurks
Below the exterior

I've tried so many times
To show you who I am
But I always fall apart
When you have almost seen

For beneath my facade
Hidden in lies
Wreathed in shadows
Is who I really am

A monster waiting
To be set free
Waiting for a chance
Waiting for me

I don't want to hurt you
So just walk away
Close your eyes
And pretend you can't see

You can kid yourself
That by looking away
You've never seen
This chaos raging in me
