I am a contradiction,
A perfect contradiction.
On looking in from outside,
I think I'd pass inspection.
My nails are neat, each hair in place.
My clothes the latest styles.
In a funhouse,
I stare in awe at my reflection,
Wishing I could live in a penthouse.
My life, my perspective, my bias keep me going in the right direction.
Some people say
that they are perfect in every way,
and maybe it is true,
but not being perfect,
expections highly regarded
impossible if you saw it
exceptional straight a scholar
not good enough if someone tops her
people see international star dancer
she shrugs it off without answer
