I am everywhere

This mental distance,
That drives you away
Makes me want to die.

This phenomenal calling
That drives me to you,
Makes me want to cry.

This facial look,
That you’ve given to me
Makes me think you want me.

But I’m wrong.
You must be a machine.
There is no one like you.
You are too perfectly flawless.

You say you had a good childhood.
Rarely anyone does.
You tell me how you hated your sister.
This I don't believe.

Cause you were never a child.
You’re new.
You’re unreal.
You’re inhuman.

You’re too perfect
To be real.
Nothing is this good.
And if it is…
It costs.

i liked this idea a lot. some things are too good to be true....

the phrase that stood out was "facial look". a lil redundant, but it didn't detract from poem.
the last 2 stanzas were wonderful.

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown

I'll remeber that..
Thanks for your truthful reply.

When I'm feeling such as I do, I sometimes am less creative, and my words are lost.
...it's hard to describe what I feel... I guess is what I'm trying to say.
I couldn't find the perfect word, so i settled.

Thanks again.
