Perfect
Sitting on this pedestal
I'm perfect
Silent and still
Like a work of art
I hang on your wall
Wide smile
With glistening white teeth
As you show me off
To all of your friends
I'm perfect
Leave me here
A shadow in your heart
While you have
All the fun
Can't risk
Breaking a nail
Because god forbid
If I did
You'd say
I'm not perfect
And then, what use am I?
But what you don't know
Is when I'm
Alone in the dark
Turning in these chains
My frame of mind shatters
As I cry
That sorrowful tune
About a girl
Who could never be
Perfect
