A Perfect World

The world we live in is perfect they say
Then why do I struggle through every day?
The people don’t stop, they go the extra mile
But somehow I pull through, faking this smile

It hurts me to get out of bed everyday
But I’m used to it now, so it’s all okay
I wish someone could prove me wrong
By telling me that I do truly belong

Then I go to bed at night, my head filled with thoughts
I wish I could run away like all those astronauts
But it’s not that easy, trust me I wish it was
Why are they so cruel, is it just because?

But then I tell myself; there is still a glimpse of hope
Because the rainbow comes out and tells me nope,
Not the whole world is like that, it hasn’t fully spoke
Give it a second chance, before it is broke

I am still waiting to be accepted for the way I am
I’m halfway there but stuck in a jam
It will come, that day, where I find my cure
It will come that day, but how can I be sure?
