PAGES OF MY HEART

Perfection

We claim to be perfect, or "perfect wannabees"
But in this journey of perfection do we do this for ourselves or just to please others.....

I watched as the love of my life was ridiculed,
was accused of things she didn't do.
I wanted to help in some way, I wanted to be there as she was tortured...
As she was told what to do and what not to do.
I wanted to hate somebody, I really wanted to...
So I decided to let my pen bleed instead.

With burning fire I decided to let it all out through the ink.
I sought vengeance,
I wanted blood,
I wanted them to pay,
But that will hurt her too,  cause these people are her people,
she calls them her own.
They are family.

How am I supposed to think straight,?
What am I supposed to do?,
Do I let this pain go on like this?
Do I let the tears that have fallen to the ground sink while turning a deaf ear to their pleas for justice?

I guess I don't have what it takes to protect you from all harm as I had hoped
I guess all the promises I made has been  nullified,
But I promise you my dearest I am here for you,
I will be here when they whiplash you with wagging tongues,
I'll be here to stop your tears from flowing,
I'll be here to ensure you have someone to hold when the world seems against you.

No matter how they accuse you, never loose the true sight of who you are,
Everything they say is for a time, and this time of accusations will pass away.
I won't love you any less,
Don't try to fit into their perfect,
Don't blend in to their definition of who they want you to be... You are who you are and that's what makes them scared....
Please don't be sad,
And whenever you feel the world is cruel, never forget that whatever you feel, I feel twice as much....
Cause I am your heart and I'll always beat no matter what.
