today i looked in the mirror
i saw a face
filled with flaws
beyond counting
on one hand
the more i saw
the more i became consumed
by the desire for perfection
to look like those other girls
the pretty girls
so i could
be perfect too
then i realised
i would never be those other girls
the pretty girls
who seem to have it all
when in reality
they have the same as me
a face
filled with their own flaws
beyond counting
on one hand
striving for perfection
in a world where perfection
does not exist
