"The closest to perfection we will ever come too, is a job resume"


Ambition,

a word that has seemingly become replaced by
perfection
Perfection is unrealistic





degrading







to the internal beauty that lay beneath










the pounds of makeup and fake tan

Black eye-lines,
fake hair,
90 pounds


of a cover girl
Anorexia,

insecurity



surgery
foreshadows of an emerging yearn for
acceptance
in modern day society
the struggle to find inner
tranquility

All woman are hypnotized
we are medias toys

They play with our minds








we are hurt












They play with our hearts




















they become broken

Some believe perfection=satisfaction
will our hunger for flawlessness
external acceptance end?

We ARE perfect
We ARE beautiful
We ARE Independent

So why settle for being flawless when you can stride for accomplishment and pride
Accept flaws, aim for success not perfection.
