Perfect



She gave herself a hundredth look at the mirror again to ensure she had conformed yet again to society`'s expectations. Four facial surgeries, one tummy tuck in, and a pair of six inches heel gave her the model look she wished for but wasn`t destined to have. The look gave her the life she claimed to be perfect but it was a boat sailing on a stormy sea which might never arrive at the port to dock.
Her success story to the world was painted to be one of sheer struggle and determination to excel in life but in reality, it was a result of several sex bouts, surgeries, low self esteem and traumatizing verbal and physical abuse from parents and peers. Either way, a show was awaiting the presence of her and another one of the numerous publicity boyfriends, she just had to be in the news.
She popped another pill which was supposed to help calm her nerves and aid her most dashing smile come out on display, her nerves were instead frayed the more. The door closed shut as publicity boyfriend No. 10 stepped in.
“I hope you aren’t expecting a compliment, that only happens in public. We both know who you really are, a cheap dump it in me sperm bank, ready to get down at every given opportunity so long as it comes with a spot on Times”. The words pierced through her and it pained so much. You never really get used to the pain of always being insulted. Each new insult was reminder of the previous. Her life was just this way. “Be down in 10 minutes”, he added. Still determined to put on a good show as usual she followed.
The laughs, the aura, the beauty, their praises were sung by every entertainment magazine   that had a say. Such a dashing couple, an elegant pair and so on. It brought more offers, more runway gigs and a possible career in acting too. She had signed the deal, he requested to see her, he wasn’t like the rest he was worse. Sex used to be a usual thank you/ buy you over gift, but this time it wasn’t. He was angry, he swore destruction and he kept to his word and it was served hot.
Every magazine had a tale to tell of her leaked sex tape and alleged drug abuse, every one brought their story to the table, the contracts were cancelled, the deals were called off, a personality of lies and everything slothful was bestowed upon her, everyone wanted pictures, just a word from her so that a million could be added.
It was early morning July 18th, she was confirmed dead as a result of drowning, and then he decided to tell the world it was all a lie and set up, never true. She was gone already and her funeral was one to remember. It was filled with so many tears, so many statements about how she had being insulted and misjudged and of course tales of how the world had being cold to her from the very start.
