Perfect

by I.Dont.Own.Emotion.I.RENT.   Nov 17, 2005


I just want to be perfect
Is that too much to ask?
I want to have a pretty face
Not this horrible hideous mask

I want to be skinny and thin
Not fat and utterly obese
I want the size of my waist
To so very quickly decrease

I don\'t want to have these scars
I want prefect scarless wrists
I have so many things that need to change
Its a never-ending list

I want my hair to be straight
Not curly and hard to deal
I dont want this numbness anymore
I want to be able to feel

I want to really smile
Not always being fake
I want to love my life
Not dread it each time I wake

I just want to be perfect
But somehow I got stuck with me
Fine- if I cant be perfect
Can I at least be somewhat happy?
