Tired of trying to be perfect Poem, by Chris M, at My poetic side

She doesn’t see perfect in her self

Drowned with too much insecurities

Ashamed of her body and personality

Tries to become someone she’s not

Tries to make people see that she can become better

But she always receives negetive comment

Prayes every night to get better

Came upon Suicide

Thinking it’s the only way out of her pain

Decided to wait till midnight

To take her life away

Not wanting to die but has no choice

Lost everything she loved cuz of her depression and self hatred

Wish she could get better

But nothing helps.

This poem to me is raw in its cry for help. It is powerful in its sense of powerlessness. Nicely worded to convey the feeling
