A Perfect Mistake

I'm not perfect
No matter what I say
I'm a bit of a reject
Have been every day

So forgive me please
At least this one mistake
It is not with ease
That this smile I fake

Because every single night
It seems like a test
That slowly feeds the fright
Can't I have just a bit of rest

Or do I have to struggle
Is that my fate
To fight as I crumble
And live buried in hate

Is this what I've become
A monster in hiding
To slowly be undone
By all the deriding.
