I like books more than people


Intangible
Yet it can touch you
Just a word
But it can destroy you
1 word
So many meanings to you
7 letters
That look different to everyone and you
Many different ideas
That can each consume you
A word
That'll make you think you've lost your value
Like a wave
That destroys a sandcastle
A disease that takes a life
Perfect
Is just a word
But the word perfect
Can cut easily through your self esteem
Like butter
Gets cut by a knife


The author's comments:
I was inspire by the book "Perfect" by Ellen Hopkins. The book combines the stories of different characters and shows how they try and live up to being their idea of perfect, and everybody expecting them to be perfect.
