Imperfections

Imperfections, Imperfections, Imperfections Imperfections, Imperfections, Imperfections. That's all that she sees. Looking at the mirror, Markin herself up, With a thousand fees. Sees something that, She don't like, She has to workout, Go for a hike. She doesn't like, The way she looks. Gonna fix herself up, With some needles and hooks. Sees everything bad, Though she looks good. But some people knock her down, Knowing she'd call the vultures to pick her for food. But what she don't get, About herself, Is that a high opinion of you, Is true wealth. Also she must think, About others. Tell an obese woman, That you are the fat one when you stand in-font of her. Tell the starving boy, That you're the scrawny dude. Tell the average American, You eat too much food. Think about what you say, Cause someone might have it worse. Don't say you want to die, Like the dear family member in the hearse. Remember that the perfection of something, Is what you think is right. But how can anything be so, When we have all lost sight?
