I Swear You Are Perfect

Silent chaos is what sneaks up on thee

and that is what has been named, society.

Hide your face,

stifle your screams;

no one will attempt to hear your dreams.

Forget your identity,

forget your personality;

they don't matter in our society.

Follow what's normal,

dress like the best;

if you don't you'll never peacefully rest.

But try to forget it,

try to ignore it;

no matter what they say,

I swear you are perfect.
