Kevin Elmore Poet I do not know?

Perfection

perfection is the deadliest sin
it changes the reflectrion you see in the mirror
it makes you feel bad in your own skin
when you go down its road, there isnt a cure

perfection is a big mistake
it takes control of your heart
inside you it stores all your hate 
tearing your self-confidence apart

perfection means its never enough
its telling you beauty means thin
it makes you live the world rough
it says starvation is what you win

perfection stangles you in its wrath
putting weight and size above everything else
gets you in so far you just cant get back
and slowly perfection makes you hat yourself

We are perfectly created to be just the way we are. In Spirit we are all perfect as life is perfection everything else is just an image. Smiles from Lolita
