Skinny legs and bigger breasts
Is all they want to see
Tiny waist and thinner arms
The opposite of me
The pressure to be perfect
Is slowly closing in
An utter suffocation
That doesn't seem to end
Society is telling me
Beautiful is thin
And if i choose to starve myself
Perfections what i win
Shoving something down my throat
Will get me what i want
Bring me closer to my goal
Of a body i can flaunt
Society is telling me
Beauty is a prize
Measured in the size of your breasts
In weight and clothing size
But let me tell you here and now
No good will come from that
It seems ok at first
But soon becomes a trap
A disease that clouds the mind
And you believe what is untrue
That you're never good enough
No matter what you do
There is one beauty that i know
And it's the greatest prize of all
It's learning to except yourself
Imperfections, flaws and all
The beauty that really matters
Lies in our heart, our soul, our core
Because when you love what's inside
You love what's outside even more

- Title: Society's Perfection
- Artist: XxXDancingWithTheDeadXxX
- Description: I wrote this a while back when i had a stomach disorder because i wanted to be thin and beautiful. Society is always showing us these beautiful young women who are thin and all, and they don't realize how inferior it makes other girls feel.
