Perfect Purgatory

Dislike of this life
What can I say?
Ive screwed it up
Ive made it this way
Whats left to do
But lie in my grave?
I dug it; perfected it
What can I say?
That I created this,
This monster
Take the plunge into abyss
Fire encompasses my body
My imperfections
Courtesy of this magnifying glass
Burn as fast as my clothes
This purgatory
Has become my Heaven
For it perfects me
Lowers my standards
But this is only me wishing
For things to get better
Put on this mask of a smile
As a single tear falls from my face
Puts out the fire
Brings back the cotton and lace
My dreams and what I aspire
It takes me back to me
Gives me a sucker punch;
Socks me back to reality
Dont let me wake up
Id be happy:
If I couldnt clearly see
Id be happy:
If I was more than people around me
Id be happy:
If I werent me
Too sad, too late
Ive done it again
What can I say?
