a weird rhyme

1998

you perfect your laugh
you perfect your smile
a perfection of
your confident style
while inside
you are breaking from dispair
and showing your true sides
you just won't dare

you hide behind your clothes
you hide behind the dyes
no one can ever know you
if you continue to avert your eyes
you're so scared
of fear you might cause
never looking past
your personal flaws

i cannot teach you to think
i cannot teach you to be happy
all i can do is tell you
the way i've come to be
and as you once again
try to solve your woes
i wish you to be pulled
from your ever present lows.

* aversion *
