PERFECTION by Becky Hemsley

"PERFECTION"
by Becky Hemsley 2022

They make you feel broken

So there’s something they can fix

They’ll tell you that you’re fat

So they can sell you dreams of thin

They’ll steer you to bad habits

Then they’ll offer you their help

Then sell you twenty gadgets

So that you can help yourself

They’ll try to bring you down

Just so that they can lift you up

And they’ll make you feel bad

So that you’ll pay to feel good

Then they’ll indulge your spending

So that they can help you save

They’ll charge you to stop wanting

All the things they made you crave

They’ll trap you til you ask

How to escape the daily grind

And you’ll pay to move on forward

When they’ve told you you’re behind

They’ll make you feel empty

So you’ll pay to feel whole

They’ll make you doubt your inner self

Then sell you back your soul

They’ll hook you with a promise

That they cannot quite promote

‘Cause they hold contentment hostage

Then they send a ransom note

So pay no mind to them

And all the things they try to fix

And stop striving for perfection

‘Cause it simply can’t exist

******

Remember that most of our insecurities are bred from someone's need to make us feel less - so that they can offer us more.
