I refuse.

These words are perfection
Perfection to teenage girls
Who strive to impress society
But never seem to accomplish their goal
Anorexia
Bulimia
Demeaning
Weight
Money
Hairstyle
Clothing
Hate
All 8 things are road blocks
To their dreams
And every adult tells us to
Follow our dreams
So girls do what they have to do
To achieve perfection
I have one thing to say
To the society I live in
And all of those teenage girls
I refuse.
