Stop trying to be perfect

What's perfect anyways 

I've never believed in myself 
I've always put myself down
I would cry out why can't  I be as pretty as them

I'd look at my body and grab at all my fat and say to myself why can't 
I just look like that

Confidence has always been an issue for me
I've never believed anyone thats complimented me 

I look in the mirror and all I see is this reflection of what looks like me 
But I see myself I say no that really can't be me 
Because the person that am seeing looks prettier than me

So I put on my clothes
So no-one can see all the fat that I have on me
Black clothing is near enough all I wear because it hides all the fat and it makes me 
Feel that nobody stares

I eat a lot of junk 
I must admit but
Chocolate and ice cream is my comfortness 
It helps to take away some depression and am actually impressed by my own honestness 

I don't like to wear make up though it may cover up my ugliness 
I prefer to have a natural look even though people stare 

I look at myself every chance that 
I get to see what makes others react to this
Because when people are staring at me 
it makes me feel worse then ever before about myself

Especially when they stare then talk to someone else 
Because it makes me feel like their talking about me 
Though to be honest why should I care

I'm not a supermodel from a magazine and nor do I want to be 
But I'd like to be Skinner and feel differently about myself yeah I know am not perfect but that's ok 

Cause if i can't be me then why be somebody else no-one is perfect no matter what they say 
No point in pretending to be perfect anyways 

I don't want to pretend am perfect like most people seem to do 
Am just happy trying to know and be the real me

Perfect isn't what I want to be because if perfects what am truly looking for then I should just be happy being me

Cause perfect is not a good thing to be so don't even pretend that you are 
Because perfect is nothing unless you can love who you truly are

If I was asked what perfect meant to me 
I'd say to be perfect in anyway is just to be who you are 

And no matter who tries to put you down just love yourself and be proud 

Don't listen to what others have to say because they ain't perfect either 
No matter how hard they try to be 

Perfect is over rated and to be perfect like I say just love who you are in every way, each and every day
