The Perfection they Demand

I'm bringing out all of my tools;
The scissors needle and the thread
The tape, the stapler, the glue
I lay them out upon my bed.

I take the needle and the thread
And on my lips I feel a prick
I stitch and sow them quick and slow
And finally I make them stick.

I take the glue and close my eyes,
Upon the lids I paint it fair
I open them and I don't blink
All I can do now is just stare.

I take the stapler, load the barrel
Pull at the corners of my mouth
Tap the trigger, shoot the bullets
My grin no longer facing south.

I take the tape and mask my ailments
Stick it all over skin and scar
Hide all my little imperfections
And I have now become a star

My skin is pure, my sound so silent
I speak no ill, voice no complaint
My lips - they're tightly stitched together
Now don't I seem like quite the saint?

I look aware and quite alive
My eyes are open wide and free
My mouth is permanently in a smile
How much more perfect could I be?
