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
