To Be Perfect

We are all smooshed

Into tiny little claustrophobic spaces

By society

In the never-ending venture to be perfect.   

If you are big, you are not perfect,

If you are small, you are not perfect,

And if you are the perfect size...

Well, there has to be something else wrong with you.  

If you do this, you are not perfect.

If you do that, you are not perfect.

If you do nothing, then you are far from perfect.  

No matter what you do or not do,

You will never be perfect.  

There will always be someone who thinks differently.

Everyone holds different ideals.

Everyone has different definitions of the word "perfect".  

There is no definite

Set-in-stone

Permanent

One-and-only

Perfect.  

So why do we all keep smooshing ourselves

Into invisible

Tiny little claustrophobic spaces?
