Perfection.
Thought after thought as I look into the mirror
The picture I see coming clear
A blemish on the left cheek,
scar on the right
Covering them up,
keeping them out of sight
Squeeze my stomach in wishing it would stay
If I just keep wishing will these insecurities go away?
Hide in my room, try not to come out
Tired of listening to the screams and the shouts
I wish things could go back to how they were before
A nice little family I used to adore
What did I do wrong, is it my fault again?
Trying to follow the rules, but some have to bend
Trying so hard to be perfect enough
But, perfection is all really a bluff
Stuck in a world where your pressured to be perfect
When will the real me finally surface?
