*Attention Affection* These are the things She strives for Perfection to get attention to gain affection But what is perfection? She starves so She can be skinny, even when She's told She has a **** body She cuts to punish Herself for eating, yet sees Her scars as imperfections She puts on make up so She can be pretty, even though She is told She is beautiful She straightens Her hair to look perfect, even though She is told She looks pretty anyway. When will She be perfect? She dresses up, dumbes it down, changes Herself but is let down. When will She be perfect? She tries to capture the attention of men and and gain their affection, But shys away from affection, emotion and the human touch. When will She be perfect? Maybe She will be perfect when she changes Her definition of 'perfection'

Perfection
*Attention Affection* These are the things She strives for Perfection to get attention to gain affection But what is perfection? She starves so She can be skinny, even when She's told She has a **** body She cuts to punish Herself for eating, yet sees Her scars as imperfections She puts on make up so She can be pretty, even though She is told She is beautiful She straightens Her hair to look perfect, even though She is told She looks pretty anyway. When will She be perfect? She dresses up, dumbes it down, changes Herself but is let down. When will She be perfect? She tries to capture the attention of men and and gain their affection, But shys away from affection, emotion and the human touch. When will She be perfect? Maybe She will be perfect when she changes Her definition of 'perfection'
It doesn't bother me that I'm told I'm perfect. It bothers me that I am not my definition of perfect.
