Less than Perfect

Less than Perfect

A Poem by Elly
"

Story of my life?

"
My life is less than perfect.
It's been thrown into the harsh light
of Reality.
Whatever you thought,
whatever life you think I led..

My life is less than perfect.
There are days when I feel like giving up.
Days when tears are shed for hours.
Hours spent layng in bed.
You can think whatever but..

My life is less than perfect.
When you see that smile upon my lips,
are you sure it's real?
Or.. can you see that shade of sadness
in my eye.

I am less than pefect.
Somedays, I can't do a thing right.
Somedays, I can't stop crying..
Somedays, I just want to crawl into a hole
and disappear..

I am less than pefect.
Sometimes, I wear a feigned smile.
Sometimes the laugh you hear isn't genuine.
Have you every considered...

My life is less than perfect.
The harsh light of Reality reveals that.
When you see me break,
when you see me cry.

When my life seems perfect,
faery-tale like..
Think again.
For my life is less than perfect...
