Jade Darrow Poems
Perfection.
What is perfection? Certainly it is not I. For I am too 'shy', too 'chubby', to be this perfection.
Do we live in a world full of lies? For I do not see this perfection. Is perfection under disguise?
I stand in front of a mirror and hatred fills me. To be perfect was not meant for me.

Hi, I'm a girl.
I play with dolls, never footballs.
...
We hear the words 'It'll be okay' to keep us from the truth.
'Everything will be fine' also keeps us from the truth.
Why keep it from us?
We're not young anymore.

The girl you see standing there, talking to her friends. I bet you didn't know she's depressed. The smile you see on her face is fake. She lives with every regret in her life. She seems so perfect on the outside but it's the inside that matters. She's fighting off her inner voice but it's winning. "Take the blade, " it whispers, "press it to your skin. Draw on your arms with your favorite blood red color."
No one pays attention to what you're fighting off inside. All that matters is what's going on, on the outside. Perfect hair, perfect smile, perfect laugh, perfect everything. Don't they know how stressful it is to try to be perfect? Perfection hurts everyone. You never see of it. You never hear of it. But perfection hurts.
The boy that you see standing in the sidelines, he has no one to turn to. No one to save him. He doesn't see the light. He doesn't believe in faith. He has no smile on his face. He fights with life every single day. He's fighting off his inner voice but it's winning. "Take the gun, " it yells, "press it to your head. Disappear from this world. No one liked you anyway."
No one pays attention to what you're fighting off inside. All that matters is what's going on, on the outside. Perfect hair, perfect smile, perfect laugh, perfect everything. Don't they know how stressful it is to try to be perfect? Perfection hurts everyone. You never see of it. You never hear of it. But perfection hurts.

Perfection
Perfection.
What is perfection? Certainly it is not I. For I am too 'shy', too 'chubby', to be this perfection.
Do we live in a world full of lies? For I do not see this perfection. Is perfection under disguise?
I stand in front of a mirror and hatred fills me. To be perfect was not meant for me.
We see on TV these perfect, beautiful girls. Some are thin. Some with flawless skin.
How can we compete with that? We get called fat because of that.
I see no perfection. For, to be perfect, is to be thin. To have flawless skin. There is no selection.
To many, beauty is on the outside. But what about the inside? What about what's within?
Do people even worry about what's within? Do they worry about true beauty?
The beauty that doesn't make people go 'look at that booty'?
It's time. Time for the 'imperfect' people to take that climb. To shout out and say 'I'm beautifully imperfect.'
That is what makes us perfect. To be able to look in the mirror and be glad at what you see. That is what's meant to be.
I don't care about what people think. This is me. No longer will words make me shrink. This is me.
I'm 'fat'. Fabulous, angelic, talented. That's a fact. I can be imaginative. I can be whatever I want to be. For this is me.
I will stand in front of the mirror and be filled with pride. I am done with the hide.
No longer will I take the insecurities. Goodbye to the immaturities.
Time for me to prove that I'm beautiful. For that is me. Beautiful.
No more do I believe that the world is full of lies. For I see the imperfection. Imperfection was under disguise.
What is imperfection? Certainly it is I. For I am beautifully imperfect.
Imperfection.
