Perfect Enough For You?

by -Ѕнэ đιεđ ѕсѓεάміηĝ-   Oct 1, 2006


The dreams of death and darkness
Swirl around my mind
Hoping It Is happiness
I am soon to find

Breathing In the toxic fumes
Of pain and guilt and hate
Deep Inside my shallow grave
I am sealing my fate

Twisted images of beauty
Dance Inside my head
While looking In the mirror
Wishing I was dead

Magazines of true beauty
With girls showing every bone
Rolls of fat on my body
Makes me want to be alone

Hating every ounce of fat
That falls upon my skin
Food Is the greatest enemy
Eating Is a sin

So many say, you've got to eat
All I want to know Is why
Im still fighting for perfection
Without, I'd rather die

People say they understand
But they don;t have a clue
The only thing I'm fighting for
Is to be perfect enough for you

    I liked the imagery and wording you used in this, it was really hard hitting.

    Again, I'm reading a poem with more pain than I like to see in any one; and yet I know it's a really common thing, one which is easy to relate to. That's definatley a good thing for your readers when they can become a part of your writing - you seem to be really good at that especially. I hope all is well with you though. I know writing sometimes speaks more truths than anything else about someone, so if you ever need someone to talk to, you know you've got a good community of writers here.
    And if this is purely just thought, and writing on paper, than you're really really good! lol. Keep it up.
