A little birdie told you
"i'm not perfect"
well that bird was right
perfect won't do
she has claws
she has sharp egdes
she is the computer that
has gone haywire
so I'll tell you
perfect won't do
she has more;
much more;
that hide beneath
the skin and the bones
selfworth and selflove
to the goddess of
the calm winds and water
the goddess; the dove
looks like the big guy
well she is none
(won't)
she is not the moon and
and she is not the sun;
(won't)
she is not the moon and
she is not the sun;
