Perfection
September 22, 2014
It is awaiting,
the prominent perfection we all desire,
fingertips tracing insecurities,
media fuelling the fire.
The ideal takes reality,
burrows and distorts the view,
corrupting and twisting,
self deprecating smiles construe.
Along came a broken soul,
who desired the same perfection,
to stare at the ghost in the mirror,
and adore her own reflection.
As one we shall push,
self admiration beats all,
prevention can’t beat the cure,
you will not make us fall.
