Sick. Strange. Standards
Perfect does not exist
she screams
her stomach is in a twist
tear streams
They're rolling down her face
she falls
she's a beautiful disgrace
her dolls
even have better shape
it seems
like she's only eaten a grape
she dreams
about a perfect life
there's no
dumb body standards or strife
I know
it's dumb to hope for change
for some
perfection has no range
they're numb
to all the levels of beauty
they loath
real individuality
pretty
is not an appearance
we are
all real physical brilliance
a scar
left by standards and a blade
she died
because we hate what she weighed
You are the definition of beauty
