Perfection on Sale

Perfection is on sale
Divas, Metros, Playas, and Hoes
You all got the ass to back this up?
Perfection in a bottle
Down it in one gulp and watch it happen.
1.
.2.
..3.
I hate it here.
I hate it.
I hate.

My ugly face, my fat thighs, my failure, my hallow heart, my honest tears, my hypocrisy, my big nose, my little breasts, my empty wallet, my Coach-less arm, my frizzy hair, my sexual desires, my life.

A generation taught to

HATE.

Hate each other.
Hate yourself.
Perfection is the only resolution.

Flip through those glossy mags.
Perfection lies somewhere inside
Upon the pages dripping ink
Inside a little bottle on sale for $9.99.
$6.66.

really like your unconventional style. the angst in this poem is well written and the visual look of the poem helps this too. i'll be reading more of your work!

Nice job! I just came across your stuff, and this is by far my favorite. I really liked how you are blunt without being obvious. Its a nice touch.
