I watch her smile and notice that it doesn't quite reach her eyes. She's trying so hard to keep the truth inside.
I watch her nails turn blue and her stomach cave in knowing in her eyes, She'll never win.
She's put a picture of perfect inside her head and I know that she'd rather be perfect or dead.
I'm watching her lose focus and it kills me inside, while I sit by and watch my best friend die.

Wow . . . this is an amazing message. And I just noticed that it rhymes, so you get brownie points for that! I really like it. It's very powerful. If you could check out some of my work, that'd be great, but if not, I get that too . . .

Many of us have the power, but we're to afraid to approach. It doesn't matter who it is. We all have one desire, to elude judgement. The best way to do that is to rot in your own bliss. Remain a closed book.

Anyways, nice work :)

Check out some of mine sometime?
