I told you everything is fine but
in reality, I wanna crawl into a hole and die
because I'm not that copybook persona you want to see.

I take all your words to heart and
your honey words make me grow weary and my
false face nearly shatters into pieces as I slowly fade away.

I feel your expectations for me to
excel far beyond my frail beliefs and glorify you
because you're under the impression you were always there for me.

I told you everything is fine but
in reality, I wanna shred my face to pieces as I
sink onto the floor and scream and sing myself to sleep with empty words.

I wish I was sorry that I'm but
a shadow of the person you always wanted me to be
and that I'm not the slightest bit okay with your moronic fantasy.
It's not much of a poem, but I feel so much better now. I just really needed to vent and the first verse popped into my head.
