The Perfect Puppet

By Ashes the Emo Fae

There's a perfect little puppet
Wearing a perfect tiny dress
Hung from her delicate perfect strings
While she danced her perfect routine

However, this perfect petite puppet
Has a not so perfect secret secret
She hates to be so perfect
And the fact that nothing that's perfect ever changes

So this perfect little doll
Sits in her perfect tiny case
As she cries perfect tears from her perfect painted eyes
For all this perfect puppet wants
Is to be flawed

    I think aiming at the pursuit of perfection is a great idea. You've done very well to portray the feeling of wanting to be free of societal restrictions. Wonderful write and welcome to DP!
