What is Perfect?


Am I too skinny, 

Too fat,

Too tall, 

Too short?

What is perfect?

Do they like me, 

Do they think I’m pretty enough,

Is this too much or too little?

What is perfect?

Perfect, desirable, accurate, flawless.

Perfect can not be one set thing, 

The perfect dress may be flawless, 

But the perfect person might be clumsy. 

Perfect can mean whatever you want it to be,

There is no set standard, 

The perfect person does not have to always be

blonde, tall, skinny, straight, and cute. 

It can mean, short, and adorable, 

or chubby and funny, 

or tall and smart,

or gay and amazing. 

But every single time, 

It does mean you.

All you have to do is find that 

perfect someone for you who also

makes you feel perfect.
