Perfection

I looked into the mirror 

Wasn't pleased with what I’d seen

My brown eyes were a little pale

Maybe they'd look better green

So I popped in my colour contacts. wow! it matches my phony mink

I’m sure it will feel better soon but right now it's uncomfortable just to blink

Don't like the color of my hair, I think I'll do a tint

A little highlight here and there should make it more distinct

I'll line my lips to make them full, things are really looking up

I think I'm onto something here and the best is yet to come

I'll give my nose a little ridge and give my lips a pout
Everybody's doing it and I won't be left out

I’ll shave my brows completely, I never really liked them black

Then I’ll take my coloured eyebrow pencil

And neatly draw them back!

These pesky little freckles, they really have to go

Under a coat of foundation no one will ever know

And then I add some contour just to emphasize my nose

But every time I fix one flaw another one stands out

I’ll glue some lashes on because I like them nice and thick

I’m not even sure just what it means but I want them to be “On Fleek”

Now I look in the mirror is this perfection that I see?

But there's just one little problem cause, 

this person isn't me! 😱
