Perfectly Tainted
The imperfections of my life
Tattooed across my skin
With ink that is invisible
Like every buried sin
Regret and sorrow fill my soul
And beat and bruise and scar
Of things I cant take back
Of things that went too far
My heart is navagating
Everything in sight
At times taking wrong turns and stops
Causing another internal fight
I never claimed to be flawless
I make mistakes, I fall
From that pedestal you put me on
High above all
Over time
Little things accumilate
From a perfect picture
To a twisted fate
I know I'll fall
I'll crash and burn
And build myself up from scratch
That's the only way I'll learn
