I know I'm a complete stranger, and have no business saying anything, but your poetry sounds EXACTLY like me, so I'm going to try to be helpful....It's good that you realize that you'll never be perfect...don't keep pushing for it then. There's only pain don that road... Be yourself...before it becomes too late and you lose that person. go the road you want to take, and never lose sight of love and self.

It has been said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the same goes for perfection. Something is only as perfect as someone allows it to be. Best of luck.

I'm sorry about the last post, now I feel like a moron...all those words, nothing about your work ::smack forehead::

Like the last two pieces, it's very real and relatable. You have a remarkable talent for being direct and yet putting so much between the lines at the same time. Keep writing, and your talent will be blinding when the editors come through looking for writers!

Good write. It sounds like you are trying to do everything to please your friends and family, when instead you should just be yourself. They should learn to appreciate you for who you are - not what you are trying to be!

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
