Flawless Imperfections

Deviously she steps forward, trying to hide every true feature

 

Plastic covering the true pores, and what wasn't covered was hidden.

 

The real truth is that she is the fakest of the truth creatures

 

Being real and unforgiving with imperfections is forbidden

 

She will make everything real about herself perfect; presentable

 

This creature refuses to be judged, and refuses to be ignored

 

But above all she refuses to become like the other girls; dispensable

 

So she covers up every real feature, to reach perfection;  a disease that cannot be cured.
