Perfect I looked in the mirror today Perfectly groomed Perfectly dressed Perfect little smile I looked at my resume today Perfect straight A’s Class President Head Cheerleader Perfect little student I looked at my family today Perfect parents Perfect siblings Big white house And money to spare I looked at my disposition today Voice: Perfectly perky With sugar-coated sweetness That must make others sick I looked at myself today Never satisfied with all I have Always wanting more Insecure, searching Hopeless, broken-hearted Pretentious, superficial Obsessed with how I appear to others Not as perfect As one would think My perfection is only as stable As the blurry image in the mirror Of a not-so-perfect girl Who can’t even decipher The source of her own imperfect tears

  6. Paper Doll People Your plastic eyes search my figure So different from yours Unique and hideous A creature you have never seen  You shake me violently, and turn me over Looking for my seam The place of imperfection Where you can rip me apart and find out what I am made of I am different from you And it scares you I have disrupted your neat order Your common sense geometric world  Voice: You hate me And all because I choose to be my own person But I am not you and I am not like you Though I want to be like you I try to stand in your rows of paper doll people And I pretend that you won’t notice But I am always found out I want to be accepted But I refuse to be like you The happy medium I’m searching for is nowhere to be found So I sit by myself, cowering Hiding in the corner of our world Watching as the single file lines Of paper doll people go by.
