Throw your ideals at the mirror
Watch perfection shatter and bleed
Ideals that aren't yours won't suit you
Like wearing a child's clothes

Watch perfection shatter and bleed
Perfection is overrated if it means
You can't be happy in your skin
And wearing someone else's isn't comfy

Ideals that aren't yours won't suit you
Give the photo-shopped perfection back
To the media that merely distorts
One big universal funhouse mirror

Like wearing child's clothes;
It's how you feel when you realise
You're holding on to a beauty that isn't yours
Stuck in a place with something you never were

So throw the world's ideals at the mirror
Watch their mockery of perfection shatter
Into so many little pieces of truth
It doesn't matter if a shard draws blood;
Your blood is true, keep bleeding.
This was written a while back, but I forgot about it until a rather boring point in lecture today when i was flicking through my notebook to write another poem...
