I am feeling like an
Ugly, pimply teenager
Who can't shake the uneasiness
Of being awkward.
I want to break out and shout
I can do what is needed!
I am an incredible being!
But perfection stops me
Since we are not close companions.
I try to please perfection.
We've had many a conversation.
However, it's often one sided:
"You're too fat. You're too ugly.
You're too old. You're hair is not right,
Neither is your skin or the color.
You just don't fit in - in the skin
You were given because it's just too tight."
I need to break out of this trap of
Perfection - it's suffocating me with
Jealousy for all those around me who
Seem to be getting and being the
Me I want to be.
