The Fight For Perfection

Control over my life is what I seek 
to no longer be unwanted 
to gain the one thing i desire,
perfection
In my head lives a girl, Ana 
she guides me through the hard times
she helps me against my enemy,
food 
Ana is always there for me, no matter what 
to advise me on the bad things 
to remind me of the goal, the aim,
perfection 
My reflection shows the problem areas
which show me how far i still am
which focus me on what to avoid, 
food 
The scales will always tell the truth 
unlike the labels on food packaging 
unlike the people who tell me i will never get it,
perfection
One day i will show the haters 
just what i can do
just what i can be,
PERFECT
