Perfect (Sl)daughter



                Perfect  (Sl)daughter

   1. I am a girl who is known for making stupid promises.

    To the world, she is an angel who can't do any wrong.

    I am a woman of no decision.

    To the world, I am a canvas of their insecurities.

    

    Bullshit, I am so fake.

    

      2. Perfect girl with perfect manners,

    "Her parents must have brought her up right."

    She isn't one of those sinners,

    Goes to church and prays all night.

    If they only knew the truth!

    Depressed, unwanted, insecurities,

    So unhealthy.

    Thinks about pulling the trigger or falling off the roof,

    So stupid,

    Won't measure up to anything.

        

   3. Now time for the truth, I hate taking selfies.

    They remind me of the flaws I take pills to forget.

    Every look from a stranger is criticized a thousand times in my head.

    I seek approval, wanna make you like me.

    If you don't, I am only half fulfilled.

    

    4.Find it hard to make friends, say I don't trust people,

    When I don't trust myself.

    "I am such a disappointment."

    How it feels good to shout that aloud.

    I don't deserve his favor, I try not to pretend I do.

    I am girl who lies about working on herself.
