Perfect

Painted faces,

Elegant forms,

Regal races,

Fickle storms,

Even our perfect,

Can kill us all, 

Tears that are wept,

Ignored; our fall,

Oblivious "flying" 

Now we are dying


The author's comments:

I wanted the last two lines to seem different from the rest, which is why they have a different rhyming structure. It's to represent them trying to break free from society's views of perfection... And failing.
