Perfection

Location

you and I.
we look face to face.
I see you and you see me.
you call me ugly.
I wonder, what is pretty.
I want to know what it looks like.
I want to be called pretty.

you and I.
we look eye to eye.
I hear you and you hear me.
you call me fat.
I wonder what is skinny.
I want to know what it looks like.
I want to be called skinny.

you and I.
we look back and forth.
eye to eye
face to face
searching for perfection.
