And the feeling of being alone

And the feeling of being alone

Whats the use of being perfect?
If there's no one in my life
To end this endless suffering
To take away the knife

What's the use of being perfect?
If I can't look in the mirror
The body staring back at me
Exactly what I fear

What's the use of being perfect?
If everything falls apart
Not just in my mind
But also in my heart

What's the use of being perfect?
If I can't take anymore
Everywhere I look
I find that same closed door

What's the use of being perfect?
And carrying all this pain
Do I deserve these feelings?
Do I deserve this rain?

What's the use of being perfect?
Always looking for the end
A part of me is breaking
With every little bend

What's the use of being perfect?
When nothings ever fair
When I'm the only one
That ever seems to care

What's the use of being perfect?
And always-wondering why
Hearing the word perfect
Makes me want to cry

What's the use of being perfect?
And feeling so alone
That same familiar feeling
All I've ever known

    Hi, Amber. As this week's POW, you are priveleged of five comments by Mel and me. :)

    On the whole, this poem was quite well-presented. It progressed in a fine manner which gives its readers a sense of hopelessness. Nicely done, dear. =] I gave it a 5/5!
