To Be Perfect

To be perfect is to fit into society’s rules

To be cool like the rest

Typically tall and skinny of course

But is it worth all the trouble?

Being thin to fit in

Being beautiful, using the definition society gives you

You’re willing to do and be anything you can to be part of this society

A society that could kill you possibly

No eating this, no eating that, don’t eat this, don’t eat that, don’t eat too much

Measuring everything you eat, weighing yourself after every meal

Keeping yourself from being who you are

Being something that you’re not

Just to fit into society’s rules

Will they understand all the things you had to go through, or will they make judgments?

What would your friends say?

‘OMG! Why are you doing this? You look fine.’

The things people say… the things they really mean inside

People would say, “It’s what’s inside that makes you beautiful.”

What most of them really mean, “Yeah… you should lose some weight. You’re what? A size 4?!”

To be perfect means changing yourself to fit into society
