Pefection
Perfection
Too Thin, too Fat
Too Tall, too Short
Too White, too Black
Too Rich, too Poor
STOP!
Always labels of perfection,
from a vain and ignorant nation.
Not only the halls of our schools,
but also in our homes are the fools.
With images from our media
The celebrity obsession and Hysteria;
Our moms and dads are joining in.
From our families to our friends.
All in the effort of perfection
young lives are from existence ejected.
Trying to obtain the impossible;
When are we going to become audible.
I am here with you and feel the pain.
Parents riding you because you are not the same.
You can't make friends unless you conform
to what society says is the perfect form.
You are Perfect, You are Beautiful.
You are loved, you are graceful.
You are you, you are nothing less.
You are strong, you are blessed.
Stop!
Don't conform to the idiocracy.
We'll create our own society,
free of judgment, with loving affection.
For only in unity and love is Perfection.
