I Hate Perfectness

I hate perfect girls stuck in their little perfect world Obsessive compulsive disorders. The one's with the perfect hair, perfect grades, perfect everything and they can't stop overachieving. They go to perfect colleges and live and marry perfect husbands who do nothing but give perfection to the tenth degree. It sort of makes me sick to think of such perfectness, a nature that will most definitely be passed down to their children. Who will in turn drive themselves crazy trying to reach their parent's expectations. The controlling ones, the ones who demand perfection and the cycle doesn't break until one child refuses. Tell them I can't be perfect, I won't overachieve. I will do my best and you will just have to live with it. So here's to the people who live life beyond the rules... Just being themselves is enough. Here's for the normal one's who have to get tutored in math and maybe just maybe they have more depth than just their facade. A person has to have a flaw no matter how tiny. No one's perfect and I feel everyone can try to remain hidden behind this jewel but eventually it will crack and shatter your perfect world leaving you sinking.
