The Perfectionist
She mingles only with such ones
Free from indecent, there's not a trace
Ways are clean as her place
Her declamations, always chaste.
Her life, spick and span
Perfection's in her voice
Discontent's a word she's never heard
With meekness and modesty, she makes her choice.
She practices to derision,
She never is derisive
Mature are her decisions
Seems with no mistakes is how she lives.
With diligance and steadfastness
To her promises she's seen
Unmovable, firm, like a wall,
From trouble and strife she's freed.
Proned to sadness, though,
I must advise you
With self-confidence not evident
For never a thing can she do
Her doors do not open
All her ways are locked within
Free will does not live within her,
She lives her life as does a machine.
She only can step forward
She never can slip back
All her ways are controlled
What's chosen for her, her every act.
No right or left turning,
If so, she's thrashed
But before anyone witnesses,
She stumbles back upon her path
With circular brown patches
Upon her face and chest
For this reason she is seen with coats,
And tons of makeup to conceal the rest.
And when she's asked about her family life
She faces the floor, her shoulders slouch
She's turned on silent mode, no one to second guess
And that's why happiness in her has never been found.
