"Perfect"
She says
Because that is what she strives for
The understanding of being content
Is beyond her grasp
Always room for improvement
Being taught that flaws are wrong
Her pale human skin should be torn
Off her fragile body
For it will always have that single
Blemish
Fingertips bloody from the
Persecution of the imperfections
She puts her heart into
Yet everything she does
Isn't enough
For her inadequate addiction
Smeared ink on the tiny paper cuts
Allow blood to flow from her hands
Staining her lovely white sheet
With a melancholy tinge
Of pain and transgression
