The pressure to be perfect
Perfect like a Barbie doll
Is like a heavy noose
A noose which is ever tightening
Tightening without mercy
Everyday
Nonstop
Nonstop
Like my pleas for them to lessen the burden
A burden which weighs my shoulders down over time
Which
Of course
Is another imperfection
An imperfection which must be stopped
Stopped at any cost
Cost to a person's soul.
