"You are perfect, nothing is wrong with your life."
I must be perfect.
Perfect at hiding everything.
Do you know loneliness?
Not like me.
I have family, I have friends.
Why am I so lonely?
You will never know how I feel.
You will never understand.
My life is simple yet complex.
I'm in so much pain.
I feel numb.
I'm not good enough for anyone.
We
All
Want
To
be
L.O.V.E.D
I'm so lonely.
[Don't pity me]
don’t pity.
Learn to understand me.
[Understand me.]
He never loved me.
[He'll never love me.]
Why isn't it easy for me to let go?
[Why can't I let go?]
Why can't I get rid of this ridiculous obsession?
I don't love you, just the idea of you.
I was so young
I was so naive
how could he touch me?
How could he?
You think you can use me,
go ahead you aren't the first
[you aren't the first]
I'm not a doll,
I'm not a toy,
I'm not worthless..
Or am I?
I never felt beautiful
I never felt good enough
you made me believe that you loved me
those sweet serene words
WERE ALL LIES!
everything is a lie!
You aren't the first
to touch a soft spot in my heart,
And break me,
break me apart.
I need to be stronger.
But how?
When I look at you I’m speechless.
I have a thousand words to say but can't.
I thought I could speak my mind?
But not when it comes to you.
I bite my lips when I look into your eyes,
you are so amazing.
When I see you with her
my lip starts bleeding.
I’m biting so hard to take away the pain.
Physical is NOTHING compared to mental pain
remember that -
Baby I’m going insane
I’ve already hit the floor
I’m about to bounce back and hit it harder
you hurt me once and I KNOW you'll do it
again and again and again!
This world is so f**ked up,
So distorted and ruined!
Can anybody hear the children’s cries?
Of their mommy and daddies that died
to greed, to rape, to poverty
[Poor baby, please don't cry, your mommy just died]
Listen
You are forgetting to listen.
[[Yes, I'm talking to god.]]
Are you confused?
Let's break this down
for you to understand
I hate...
this world
I hate...
MY LIFE!
I’m giving up
this s**t is all screwed up!
These words are raw and bland
I’m weak but strong enough to speak my mind.
I’m giving up.
I want to be normal
[I want to stop hurting]
stop the blood!
[Stop the blood!]
Why do they pretend to hurt?
[why do they pretend]
You know nothing!
This isn't funny!
I’m so f**ked up,
so different,
I'm not perfect,
I wish I was perfect,
you don't understand
[you’ll never understand]
You don't want to be like me.
To breathe and taste the s**t
That I've seen.
I am second best,
and considered a "whore."
I am imperfect
and nothing more.

- Title: Perfect Imperfection
- Artist: Lust Astarte
- Description: I wrote this at a time when my life was very screwy. I lost a lot of myself because I tried to act like I was PERFECT. One of the most inspirational people in my life told me they wanted to be like me, and I was dumbfounded because I am truly IMPERFECT.
