♥ Mirror of Damnation ♥

Look at me, tell me I'm perfection,
Still I see the truth.
I am trapped in this mirror of damnation,
Another broken youth.

What is perfect, what is it good for,
Magazine lies rot me from with in.
I lay there wishing upon the ivory floor,
As crimson leeaks from each tiny sin.

Purge away the flaws for you all,
To make the world smile.
Listen to the voices as I fall,
Not seeing the distruction behind my disguise.

Crystal shines in radiance,
This shattered glass lies.
Lost in another catastrophic romance,
I slip into my own dimise.

I should look to my flaws and grin,
Rather then watch my exsictance turn sour.
If I simply gaze with in,
I'll see my beauty, and my power.

Author notes

not sure if this is what you wanted but it's about striving to gain perfection rather then seeing the perfection in the flaws, that everyone is different and should embrace what is already so wonderful about themselves.

"Perfection is nothing short of reality
within it's own mirror image,
So therefore I am nowhere near perfect
... just an image."
-Chantelle DeJong-
