Your Perfect
Stop!
 The screeching in my ear,
 The clawing at my skin,
 I know I’m not your perfect,
 
 So why must you try to make it so?
 Stop!
 I can’t take it,
 I don’t know what to do,
 I’m lost,
 And alone,
 And so very confused,
 I know I’m not your perfect,
 So why must you try to make it so?
 Stop!
 Only a sea of despair surrounds me now,
 Only thoughts of not knowing myself,
 Swim in my head now,
 My eyes are closed,
 For if I open them, 
 I know I won’t recognize her now. 
 I know I’m not your perfect,
 So why must you make it so?
 Stop!
 I float among the nothingness now,
 Around the wreckage of the death of her,
 Of your perfect,
 And I smile,
 For its now time for a birth,
 A rebirth of me,
 Where the thoughts of before wont plague me.
 I know I’m not your perfect,
 So why must you make it so?
 Stop!
 It’s about time I changed things,
 Go down the path to being my own,
 Definition of perfect.
 I know I’m not your perfect,
 So why must you make it so?
