Perfection

by nicky   Dec 18, 2006


Great was never good enough
beautiful was never pretty enough
after a lifetime of depression
heartbreak and pressure
i always thought that someday
perfect would find its way
to help all those like me
threw all their pain and misery
just make them enough
good enough
no one should feel pain over a silly word
i know it seems so tough
to know that your not enough
for those who judge you
and nudge you to wear and act in ways you know aren't you.
take a look at yourself in the mirror.
your everything a girl could wish for underneath this cover of who you think you are.
perfects just a word.
and to the girls who think their perfect in every way,
i encourage you to take a look in the mirror
and look at yourself in another way.
look straight through your fake exterior.
look at yourself,
and know your not superior.
to the girls who know who they truly are inside.
and that really you are just a big lie.
take a look at yourself.
and know that you have the strength to walk around and be you.
just you, and only you.
and thats what being perfect is all about

    I loved this poem because it has such a great message in it. Perfection, I dont think it exists. People have just got to be true to themselves and shine. "Id rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not"
