Perfection

A Poem

By Holly LeaPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

Her hair was soft like velvet

Body tan, a sunkissed glow

Her nails done bi-weekly

She'd walk in and they would know.

They would know she is "perfection"

A real woman, the ripest peach

But did anyone care to ask her

What's really underneath?

What's underneath that perfect smile

Underneath the expensive clothes

Underneath that vibrant woman

Maybe no one dares to know.

What makes a person perfect

Their looks, personality, beliefs

And maybe she just isn't perfect

And never wants to be.

This isn't about that woman

Or the issues she's been through

But is anyone really perfect

That's the question I ask you.
