falling short of perfection

“No one HATES you more than your own reflection 
                                                          reflection
                                                          reflection”
Take a step back<-- from the mirror|rorrim
Wipe away all the lies theyve told, saying youre *beautiful*
Picture {im}perfect image exists only in your head…never enough
P.r.e.t.t.y enough
S.k.i.n.n.y enough

Drop DEAD gorgeous
Youre scarred, pale body in the dim light of the bathroom
All your clothes never seem to fit right, so you break down & cry
          p                  p
Make u only covers u so much hunni
But perfection is poison; once you become it…you must live it
In his eyes youre everything, in your eyes you are [no]thing
In the end only your opinion m/a/t/t/e/r/s

    I love this poem, the setting and the imaging your poem portrays is seen so clearly. This is probably the best Dirty Pretty poem I've read, Keep it up

    Loved this; I really enjoy poetry written in this style, and you did a fantastic job of it

    have to say the "mirror|rorrim" part really did it for me; I would never have thought of reflecting it like that!

    Nice job, and best of luck in the contest =)
