Imperfection Never Met Me

She's got it all figured out
Everyone knows it
They doubt
They whisper
They nod and say, "She'll come to her senses"

She's got them all figured out
No one knows it
She cries
She binges
She only dreams of failure and shame

What happened to the girl
Who wanted to reach the sky
Where endless opportunities waited for her
When did she stop dreaming
Why did she quit trying
How did she fall from the light?

Her body walks among us
Fooling the purest of heart and
Good intent of mind
They can't tell
Her heart is no longer here

We pass her by
Knowing there's something wrong
Not caring to cry with her
She won't tell
Our hearts are deaf to her sorrow

Walk on lonely child
We don't want you.
Watery eyes
Heartfelt cries
Are not worth our time.

I know you all think I'm a failure
I knew you all felt this way
I know you pierce me with your hate
I knew I should never have trusted you

So I walk on
Not daring to stop
Not hoping for help
Nor hesitating to turn back
I walk on
