Perfection

We all have our flaws

our issues with the mirror

even the strongest glasses

can't make our image clearer

We can never please our minds

or smile at what we see

all the thoughts combined

say: Why's that gotta be me?

Knowing it's not true,

it's the mirror that we blame

Self consciousness-it grew

or so our minds they claim.

We shouldn't hate the reflection

all of us are "pretty"

stop aiming for perfection

it's society we should pity.
