Perfection
There is little that is right about me
My thighs like each other too much to put a gap between them
My head is too scared of the sky to be any higher up
My mind wants to speak, but is afraid of being wrong
My heart is too big to hold itself together when it breaks
But that's just how it is
That's how it is always going to be
Perfectly wrong is the me I embrace
I see so many others like me
Being told that their own form of perfection
Will just never be enough
It took me a long time to get here
And there is a much longer way to go
But for the world of people just like me, please know
You define perfection
