At the beginning it was simple
She just didn't want a flaw
Her friends and family weren't aware
This was the last of her they saw
It started to grow larger
This monster in her mind
It threatened to control her
It wouldn't be left behind
Eventually it possessed her
And owned her every thought
Her family was replaced with
The nightmares that it brought
It convinced her that perfection
Would help her to survive
But eventually that longing
Buried her alive.
