Your eyes alone cannot define me
so why don't you blindfold them and
open your mind and let it feel who I am
break down your walls of ignorance and understand that
for years imperfections was my best friend
she always held me tight and told me the only
way I could seduce perfection into my life
was by introducing my flaws and body
to M.A.C and designer labels
now I'm fucking perfections and he takes
me to heights I never knew existed
It is clear that you have been starving
your mind and you need to feed it with intelligence
but don't over feed it because too much
knowledge births stupidity and you become
the classics case of the parent who fucked
too many pages from the book of thoughts
so before you stand before me and judge
who you think I am, why don't you lay
your head on my tear stained pillow
and breathe in my past sorrows, my present pain
and my future mistakes.

I have no problem with curse words because just like any word they are words. Sometimes we need to use a strong word to give the feeling of raw emotion and what not. Thank you for entering

Hope is a funny thing. It leads us to wait for the impossible and let the magnificent pass us by. Don't be too sure that there aren't people out there who won't read you so fast that you will be shook. It is a talent, to often misused by abusers, grifters and those that find addiction is a pathway.
For all the image of a self assured and goal oriented person created in the opening verse and most of the second, though in the second it feels more like arrogance in the end, the last four lines, disdain and knowledge turn to supplication and a request for understanding and love. Glad to see you haven't broken all the crystals your dreams have brung.
Thank you for entering our contest. Best of luck
Peace,
Tom B.
