Reflection


Practicing perfection

 Just makes me stare at my reflection

I don’t even know what direction my life is going in

Practicing perfection

Hating my reflection

How much longer will I feel this way in my skin?

Practicing perfection

Looking for a connection

Where is someone who will understand my open heart and crooked grin?

Wanting to fit it in

But knowing I’ll never be thin

Practicing perfection

Looking away from my reflection

Trying to begin
