Losing It All
A dress of black Silk
A Head of golden curls
laughter rolling, glasses clinking
cheeks are rosy, eyes are twinkling
the hostess rises
the look of perfection
beauty brains and poise
all into one
on-lookers sigh in admiration
and watch as she walks away
when out of the range of the admirers glances
she ducks into a stall
and takes her chances
Who's going to notice the few pounds?
I want to reach the final destination
just a few more than ill be there
I want to be perfect
According to their standards
I want to be in control
so Im going to reach that goal.
-----
How perfect can a person be
to make herself sick endlessly
and throw her future away
just to acceed the standards of today?
