Perfect Imperfection

IMPERFECTION Look at me Really look at me I'm flawed I have scars Bruises Big ones too I'm cracked no doubt And my hair isn’t down to my shoes I dress in not so nice ways And i really like my food Outside I’m flawed and not so pretty Now look into my mind You’ll see the same IMPERFECTIONS I dislike my mind so much I overthink I daydream But instead its nightmares I pour out my mind Onto the pages of my book Until I’m left empty It leaves my mind aching Aching to be filled with more words But they come so slowly Yet I’m always thinking PERFECTION Something that can never be achieved All of us are flawed We try so hard To be ‘perfect’ We change Our bodies Our clothes Our minds We change to please each other But if we are all changing together We will never reach an end The cycle will go on And on PERFECT IMPERFECTION This is something we can achieve We become our own perfect We change only for us Never for them Realization seeps in We see what we don’t like And only then do we change We dye our hair We buy new clothes We go on a diet We start exercising We better ourselves And again Only for us Never for them
