Perfect

Lily_

It's hidden in the moments you don't see
after I remove the mask
and release the pressure

When my hands are tired of holding on
and my legs are weak from the weight
I feel anger build, deep in the pit of my stomach
It makes me want to vomit

The anger is worse than the hurt
It fills me with regret and guilt
I feel- 
unlovable 

 

Did I cause this?
Did I deserve this?
Have I served my sentence?
Learned my lesson?



It lurks in the shadows of my mind
and hides behind glossy eyes
I hate it, but I cant let go

 

So, I wear her like second skin
Thick and resilient

I know.
She's perfect.

    If ever there was a place to explore under the skin and let it all hang out, then the company of poets is surely that place. MyPoeticSide is a place where I am real and not my other world facade erected for self protection - and it's not just me.

    Feel safe.

    Your words show the real you as words do for many of us when we write poetry.
