The Perfect You

How am I expected to 

put myself back together

when everyone scatters

more piece as they trample 

through my life?

Everyday I smile,

think nothing of the secrets

or gossip

and all of self perception

and how people remember me.

I try to fix the 

little flaws that nag at me everyday.

And seeing others make it worse.

Oh look at her, thats what I wish I looked like.

But no.

They tell us, Darling

you're much too perfect to 

even consider the idea of change.

Or Stop comparing yourself to others

and cherish what you have.

And besides, if someone only likes 

you for whats on the outside,

where they ever really worth it in the first place?

Sure, you can tell me that but

how does guy-meet-girl

come to be?

Think about it.

I saw her across the street,

Ya, you saw her

I droped my stuff

then when I lean down to 

pick it up

our hands brush

and you look up at me

and BAM! love.

You looked at eachother

So how can you say, that if someone loves you

because of apperence

that it's a bad thing,

and no good relationship becomes of that,

than what do you call all the romance surrounding

our world?

So why shouldn't I worry

about how I look?

So why shouldn't I try so hard

to fufill the image of

perfect me?

It's not as simple anymore is it?

It's not as simple as what they tell you.

Because what they tell you

to reasure you about everything

and that may last,

but it's only temporary.

What you have to do, is try.

Try to be the person you want to be.

Try to achive what you want

but without critizing your 

beautiful self.

And if people get in the way,

run

run past them

run around them

run as far away from them as you can

because they are not worth it.

Their input means nothing.

It holds you back and doesn't

let the real you,

the perfect you,

show.
