she bites her nails
and stays awake
she knows with
every night
comes another fight
shes crying in her sleep
the silent screams of
secrets she shouldn't have to keep
her eyes are pale blue
bright like the summer sky
shes wishing this would end
and tired of wondering why
why shes just another actress
in "living the perfect life"
their notes are crumpled
and thrown in the corner
she knows that she
can't take this much longer
she wants to leave
just wants to run away
she knows that she
that she cant stay
her eyes are pale blue
bright like the summer sky
shes wishing this would end
and tired of wondering why
why shes just another actress
in "living the perfect life"
she's fighting her pillow
trying to make it through these nights
black eyes and headaches
are all she get from these fights
she's fighting the truth
fighting herself
fighting with anything and everything
alone theres no help
she's wishing she was perfect
and its all shot to hell
but she never knew
and she could never tell
her eyes are pale blue
bright like the summer sky
shes wishing this would end
and tired of wondering why
why shes just another actress
in "living the perfect life"
why shes just another actress
in "living the perfect life"

Is this a song? Could be. I've heard songs like this, actually.
But anyways it works for me, especially the chorus. I wouldn't change too much in it.
Oh yeah... good title, too!
I freaking LOVE this!!!!!!!
I really love the reference to her eyes. It adds a certain something to the situation. Great poem!
