when perfect isn't attainable

 you eat too little, or too much.

you’re too skinny, or too fat.

you’re too hard on yourself, or not hard enough.

you’re too nice, or too mean.

you care too much or don’t care enough.

you’re too smart, or dumb.

so you eat the perfect amount,

have the perfect weight,

have the perfect amount of grace with yourself,

be perfectly behaved,

have the perfect amount of effort so people know you care,

and get perfect grades without being a suck-up.

but no one likes the perfect girl, because they try too hard. 

so stop trying to be perfect.
