You're never fully dressed without a smile.


Living has killed me.

Killed me with words.
With sneers.
With witty mutters.

Killed me with cries.
And cuts.
And bruises.

Its killed me with fighting.
And lies.
With trying to stay at the top.

This world has killed me
By being imperfect.

While I was stuck
Wanting to be the perfection.

Struggling to be perfect is something I feel everyone has to deal with. It's part of life. I feel like this poem has been written to help me feel more in power with my want of perfection.
