So Perfect

Contributed by isaiyan on Tuesday, 28th January 2003 @ 02:20:00 AM in AEST
Topic: SadPoetry

I see me staring back at me
prying through the mirror
i reluctantly take my time, to sculpt
my own eyes
to replace them so i can see me more clearer.

I remove my mouth so I cannot speak
so i will not judge myself in binges.
I replace them with sinless lips
give or take a couple of inches.

I cut off my nose and in its place
sits a remarkable sense of glee.
Still, staring at this wonderful mirror
I am not satisfied with me.

I want to scratch open my uglyness and burn the horrid mess
I will spare the only good parts
which is roughly about five percent.

cut off my chin with a cleaver
i want to hack it in two
now my face looks so perfect
but still there's so much to do.

I can continue to my body,
correcting, re doing until there is no wrong.
I just want this one moment to be in control
for once I would like to play God.

Singe the hair from my arms
until every piece is dead.
After that I'll work on my legs
then I'll go back to my head.

See, my reflection?
how I would love to change
"Let's work on the inside," it said to me.
for my outer will always remain the same.

This was very interesting and compelling made me think. I liked this a lot. Keep on writing.
