Illusions(Tw)





I have a happy family

Parents that love me

Friends that are there

I do well at everything

The perfect person

With the perfect life

But that’s all an illusion

A performance for others

I HAVE the be perfect

My parents’ love conditional

My friends only surface level

I CANNOT do this anymore

I’ve tryed to leave, to die

They sayed it was an accident

They keeped it secret

Didn’t care to get me help

I tryed again, this time different

They believe I tryed this time

They still won’t get me help though

And I’m to afraid to ask

It’s my fault I’m so messed up

That I can’t be perfect

What they want me to be

But aside from the unexplainable attempts

I’m still just perfect in there eyes

Because that what I have to be

So I force a smile and fake being happy

No one would believe me if I sayed I wasn’t

And no one cares about me

Only that I’m what they want
