Thirst

Reflection, my enemy

Perfection, my goal

Rejection, my worst fear

Deflection of words, my best skill

Slowly but surely the mirror points out

All of my marks, scratches, scars

I’m never gonna be enough

Ugliness surrounds me

I need to be tougher
I need to be stronger

I need to be a looker

I need to be perfect

Slowly the obsession eats at me

It devours the light and replaces it

With a dark and unquenchable

Thirst for perfection
