In the mirror I stare
And scrutinize the mistakes
Of my imperfection
I smile, knowing what it will take.

My ratty brown hair
Will be replaced by hers
The blackest of ravens
Within me evil stirs.

Then my eyes
The moody green gone
And in its stead the crystal blue
Of that one blond has-been yawn.

The pasty skin replaced
By silken moonlight
Borrowed from that Gothic girl
Most beautiful white.

The thin lips
Are plumped by thoughts of
Stealing the beauty's full ones
Red and full of love.

I look in the mirror
Black hair
Blue eyes
Red lips

Perfect...
Disturbing, I'm aware. The idea of making the perfect you by stealing bits of others came to me while listening to the song Farther Away by Evanescence. The quote that inspired me was "I took their smiles and made them mine. I sold my sold my soul just to hide the light." Thanks for reading.

And just so everyone knows, I'm content with how I look! This is just what I was inspired to write, promise!
