Mr Perfect


Morning again,
Why does it have
To come around
So quickly?

Another ten minutes
I tell myself
As I hide
Under the covers.

Do other people
Feel like this?
They’re better than me.
They, disguise it.

Look around:
Smiling faces, confident
Joking, teasing one another,
Not me.

Not for me:
The gangs of friends...
The girly talk...
The sleep parties...

Life goes on
Around me, yet
Without me. I’m always
The outsider.

Home time:
Whether in a group, or
By myself,
I’m alone.

Look at the houses,
No sign here.
All the boxes look alike
From the outside.

The corner...
The house...
The cloud...
He’s there.

My heart pounds
I can’t face it.
I have to,
DAD.
