Prompt-' The dark side of perfection.'  by RyanBH

She was like the summer sun, bright and radiant.

Her smile, like a golden ray of sunshine, would reach into your soul

Filling it with the warmth of love and the light of hopefulness.

She was a rare blend of elegance and kindness that beguilled the world.

They deified her and placed her on a high golden pedestal.

She was no longer one among them, but their picture of perfection.

She was so high above that the world suddenly seemed out of reach.

Those that she loved, burdened her with the weight of expectations.

There was no shoulder to lean on, for she was left alone,

Cast away into solitude, that settled above her like a grey cloud.

Her smile melted away into crimson tears and she pleaded with them

To bring her down from the dais of forlonity and to let her live among them

They spat at her ,for being an ingrate and took her down from the pedestal.

Into the darkness they threw her, for she was no longer their picture of perfection.

Not so perfect, I know. Yet, please share your thoughts.
