I know you're tired,
l i t t l e s i s t e r
of hiding in the
shadow
of
me
You're always trying to achieve
p-e-r-f-e-c-t-i-o-n
but, honey,
there's something wrong with that plan
because
p-e-r-f-e-c-t-i-o-n
doesn't exist
/*/*/*/
In their eyes,
no matter how
\pretty/
\smart/
\kind/
you are,
you will be forever flawed
((forever is a longlong time, darling))
/*/*/*/
So you must shake off their cruel
words&stares&whispers
and rise above it.
I know you can,
because your
dominique
and no matter how
\pretty/
\smart/
\kind/
they think i am,
you've always shone the brightest.
((you practically glow))
/*/*/*/
Don't be sad,
l i t t l e s i s t e r
i'm not p-e-r-f-e-ct, either.
I spent my life trying
((sososo hard))
to be what they wanted me to be
((perfect))
and the land of
((false))
perfection is lonely,
you cannot cry
or yell
or have bad days.
You cannot be human.
/*/*/*/
Let me tell you something,
l i t t l e s i s t e r.
Lean in close, now,
and listen, because you will never hear words more true than this:
you are
d:a:z:z:l:i:n:g, my dear,
so don't try to reach that magical, mystical land of
p-e-r-f-e-c-t-i-on
because, the truth is,
you can't be perfect
without
F/L/A/W/S
Review, please. It makes me happy:).
