Picture Perfect

Passing a mirror

Averting my eyes

All I see are flaws

All I see are lies

 

Inperfection here

Does this look like a model to you?

No? Well I'm not

Guess I haven't fooled you

 

Can you make me flawless?

Can you teach me about beauty in your eyes?

Can you show me how to fool everyone

With this carefully constructed armor of lies?

 

I just want to be picture perfect

All flawless skin and cascading hair

Unrealistic though this aspiration may be

The thought will always be there

You would be faultlessly perfect ?
Just ask.
You would wish to be a dream ?
Tell me your dream.

YES !
I know you are beautiful and most of
your readers know that you are beautiful.
What we have to do is convince you of that
fact.
Read this and thnk about what it means:
----- your mind creates the world--- Buddha
It is true. As you see the world, that it will
become. No one else makes your world, only
you can do that and you will do it well.

Good expression of natural vanity, i enjoyed it a lot.

I wasn't sure if you perhaps meant to say "averting my eyes" in line 2 meaning turning away as opposed to "adverting my eyes" meaning drawing your attention. Both meanings would work but i though perhaps you might have meant the former? I could be wrong and the way you have it is interesting as well.

Thanks for sharing this good piece of work

This poem is very true. It's very insightful. I really liked it.

Everyone wants to change themselves, and you've captured that sense perfectly! Great read... Personally I believe everyone was born perfect, picture perfect and otherwise, they just have to look through the right eyes to see it :) Very inspirational :)

Most people have something they want to change about themselves, however major or minor that change may be, and that's actually a big part of improving oneself and succeeding (in whatever aspect), so I don't necessarily think it's bad. I think the important part, though, is to be clear about whose ideals you're trying to achieve. Beauty is, after all, subjective.

Sadly, I think this is something a lot of people can relato to though. As such, it's well expressed.
