Perfect


Girls always want to be perfect

You get farther in life when you’re perfect                                                                           

           

They want the best clothes so they don’t look like a reject          

Because all your problems are solved when you’re perfect                                                                                                                                                                   

When they become popular, they turn down their real friends for fake friends, neglect                

Because they are so worried about everyone thinking they’re perfect

                                                                                   

Those women need to look at themselves are reflect                   

Is it worth trying to be perfect?                                                                                                                                                             

They treat people who are below them with disrespect  

Because they aren’t perfect                                                                                         

 

They lose all touch with the real world, they disconnect

All because they care too much about being perfect
