Why do people try to be perfect
Because it’s not all worth it.

Perfection is nothing you can achieve
When you realize that, please don’t grieve.
Don’t waste your money on an expensive dress
Or else you’ll be in a mess
After the boy you wait for
Never shows up at your door.
Don’t try,
Or cry
Because all in all,
You’ll be the one to fall.
You’re perfect, you say?
That makes me laugh everyday.
In the end, you’ll be beat
When your world turns bittersweet.
Don’t try,
Or cry
Because perfection isn’t worth it.
Broken-Hearted Waltz
By Jilian Price
You’ve tricked me far too many times
And now it’s time for you to pay.
I won’t listen to your words
Because now, I get the final say.
I could always see through your lies
And you knew that, too.
But I fell for you, and hit the ground
hard.
Still, you don’t understand that I was forced to go through
Wasted money
Was put on your promises that were false
Time for you to experience the pain,
And dance the broken waltz.
The dance of the broken-hearted
Never ended for me.
Now, it’s just replaying for you
So jump in, you won’t miss a note or key.
Move along with the rhythm
The rhythm of revenge and hate
This smooth pace won’t last forever
Get ready to speed up, and keep your back straight

You broke my heart, so this is your fee.
