"Perfect" Doesn't Mean Anything, by Crimson.Wings
|
People strive to be "perfect" in every way
Painting on faces
Wearing the "in" clothes
But since when does "perfect" mean copying everyone else?
Why is it that the people who are independent
Are labeled as "freaks?"
Since when does everyone have to dress and look the same?
Why can't we make decisions for ourselves?
"Looks don't matter,
It's what's on the inside that counts."
Whoever made that up obviously has no clue
The twenty-first century is twisted and warped
Identity theft is impossible if everyone is a clone
If this is the definition of "perfect"
I will strive to be the opposite |

| It is not exactly the definition of perfect that you described here in your wonderful poem, but perfect means whole or wholeness I would think, lacking nothing... If we were all after the looks or superficial things that some think makes perfect... then where would we be if we were lacking nothing?
anyway you have a great poem and the idea behind this poem simply great!I think you have conveyed much here in it!...great Job! |

| I really liked the fact that I could connect with the message in this poem and that it is really to be taken seriously. I enjoyed reading your view of life with such a passion for the way you feel. |

| true some people are obsessed with their appearance but when it comes to perfect . . . thats a whole different story. When people strive to be perfect they strive to be their definition of perfection. I just don't get why they do this. You captured this perfectly in yout poem. I love it I really do. It's perfect haha. Keep writing because I'm reading. :) |
