"PERFECTION"

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
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.
