Scarred Perfection

Thank you Tyler M. for the name. :)

Whats wrong with this picture

                        A perfect family

             Two children

             Two parents

             White piked fence

                       Nothing you say

Well the children would tell you different

                       Not a perfect family

             Alcohol tossed back

             Yelling words

             Swinging fists

                      Yes somethings wrong

But who is ever going to beleive kids exspecially

                      When everything looks perfect

             Big house

             Clean, nice lawn

             Children playing in the yard

                      But that's the secret

They play outside as a way to hide

                      To try to appear perfect

              Smile

              Laugh

              Play

                      Being normal children on the outside

Inside crying, silently dieing

                      Wanting to be away from perfect

              A small house

              No yard

              No fence

                     Something that looks poor

Because in their minds it has to be safe, be normal there

                     Maybe run away together leave this perfectness

              Pack bags

              Sneak away

              Live with friends

                     But no they couldnt do that

Thy are what keeps the parents even partly sane

                     So they must stay

              Cover their ears

              Hide ouside

              Hide under the covers

                      They will stay in this place

For they know not where else to go without killing their parents hearts

I really like this one sister. I can relate to it. Always wanting to run but not wanting to tare apart your parent's heart. But in the end I did anyway. this is truely a great one. We like we like

This is very true. I know so many people in my neighborhood like that. We live in a kind of poor neighborhood. It is very sad sometimes to watch them. Great write!

[Dai Edenburough]

The last stanza here truly stands out and makes the writing a piece of art!

in an imperfect world there are no perfect people..thats why there is love and forgiveness.sometimes i want to run away myself but i need to live the life i have and try to make it better.

A picture is what people want it to be.
But in reality, it doesn't show what happens in the background, in that household
How they truly feel.
Just how they truly feel.
I like this a lot.

This was really good and sad for those kids. Cover their ears

Hide ouside

Hide under the covers

They will stay in this place

For they know not where else to go without killing their parents hearts
