Perfection:

Ideal body

Thin, beautiful

Something I will never be.

Every roll, every pimple

remind me of

how imperfect I am


Perfection:

Ideal daughter

Stable, in every way

Failing in every form.

Every self-inflicted wound,

every time I didn't do as I was told,

every comparison of siblings

my imperfections shine bright


Perfection:

Ideal girlfriend

Beautiful, straight

I am not one of these.

Guys think bisexual women are hot

but am I only bi?


Imperfections are prevalent in my...

fat rolls

pimples

sexuality
