Perfect Life

Perfect Life

A Poem by Sapphire Naylor

We walk past like nothing has happened,

Yet my world is tumbling,

Falling to the deepest pits of despair

I smile

I laugh

I hide the turmoil that is overflowing inside

Nothing goes right,

Forever looking,

Never finding.

Putting up that mask,

Constantly gluing it back together

Never to show the true self

Never to show who I really am

Nothing has happened

I always smile

I always laugh

Nothing is wrong

My life is perfect

You've succinctly portrayed the human character behind the mask.

Robotic conditioning. Pretending all is well, smiling, laughing, and dying inside.

In a sense your life is perfect..you described a great part of the human condition..universal truth..so in that sense it is perfect...it is shared by all that have an open and loving heart.

Enjoyed this.

Well written, well conveyed message too, even if you simply laugh it increases end-orphans and helps you, so we all are smarter, I will say that mask we wear is to show the world I am an amazing identity, respect me, fools
