IMPERFECTIONS

People always taught us

Guys only make fun of girls

They really like

And we believed it was right.

We grew up a bit more

Although guys never did

And the obssesion being called pretty

Started settling in our skin

With the media telling us

How we should look like

And that we were never enough

We started calling eachother sluts,

Wanting to fill the emptiness inside our hearts.

Guys never made the situation easier

They loved jumping in beds with skinier,

Saying »Oh, we're just having fun,«

Ignoring the no's and continuing on.

Some were terrified,

They never told no soul

But the ones who had the guts

Were told they're on their own.

So tell me, how is this world fair?

When no one seems to believe or care?

We've got so much potential

But we're wasting lives away, scared of rejection

Always striving for perfection.

What do you think of it? Let me know in the comments.
