Lonely Perfection
His reflection is flawless
His loneliness, hidden by his perfection...
Not a scratch on the surface
Nothing penetrates his skin
He has a smile that never fades away
A lie that makes everything seem okay
Even when the demons inside stir, restless
His eyes remain expressionless
Outside he smiles in familiar places when he can't stand to look at their faces
Nobody gets close enough, because he's just a ghost
Hiding from what he fears the most
As long he pretends to be a part of this world
his facade remains untainted
Alone on a single bed
He Falls into the world inside his head...
And he experiences bliss for the first time
but the bliss that he feels, he'll never feel outside of his dreams
Because nothing in this world is his.
When he opens his eyes
He leaves the best part of himself behind
But he won't cry
Because, once the tears start to fall, they may never stop
So he soldiers on
Denying himself any weakness
Denying himself the freedom
And his facade remains untainted.
