Perfection
Skinny legs, bigger chest
 is all they want to see
 Tiny waists and thinner arms
 the opposite of me.
 The pressure to be perfect
 is slowly closing in
 An utter suddocation
 that doesnt seem to end.
 Society iss telling me
 beautiful is thin;
 And if I choose to starve myself,
 Perfection is what I win.
 Shoving my finger down my throat
 will get me what I want,
 Bring me closer to tha goal
 of a body I can flaunt.
 Societ is telling us
 Beauty is a prize
 Measured in the size of our chest,
 in weight and clothing size!
 But, let me tell you here and now,
 no good will come from that, 
 It seems Okay at first,
 But soon it becomes a trap;
 a disease that clouds the mind.
 And belive what is untrue,
 belive you're never good enough
 No matter what you do
 There is one beauty that I know;
 It's learning to accept yourself;
 Imperfections, flaws, and all.
 The beauty that really matters,
 Lie in our hearts, our soul, our core.
 Because, when you love what's inside,
 you love what's outside
 
  even more.
