What is Perfect MAG
February 17, 2014
Pore by pore,
I've seen the faults
in my skin.
Mirrors shard and
perfect pierces my ears.
When acne speckled
my forehead and my
eyebrows needed a tweeze,
he whispered beautiful. What
is beauty? Another glance
at a reflection, but
I'll never see my eyelids
flutter during REM or watch
the wrinkles around my
lips when I smile.
But he thinks I'm beautiful,
so don't let me ever be perfect.
