Perfect

I look. 

I look at myself in the mirror
perfectly groomed
perfectly dressed
perfect light shiny blue eyes
I look at my 
Edcation today
perfect grades
perfect little student
Then, 
I look
look at my famliy.
PERFECT partens 
perfect siblings 
I look at myself today.
Always!
   Always satisfied with all i have! 
NEVER!
  Never, wanting anything more.
I stop! 
and think.....
Think how i appear to others.
NOT AS PERFECT!
As one would think.
My perfection, is only as permanet
as the blurry image in the mirror!
KNOWN!
As a not-so-perfect-girl.
She can,
only hold back
So long.
Hold back, her imperfect tears.
