[hometext] => I wrote this poem in 1999, as an 8th grader. I cannot remember why I wrote it-- I think I knew a bulemic. Just thought it would be interesting to post.
[bodytext] => she tries too hard to be perfect,
and she always dies inside,
she had been trying so hard to be perfect,
but there are feeling she cannot hide.
she sees herself as imperfect,
she feels so sad,
she looks back on her life,
wishing for things she had,
so she tries to make herself perfect,
which is too hard,
nobody is perfect,
so that's why she is passed out in the yard.
she tried too hard to be perfect,
oh, Lord know she tried,
she starved herself, made her self throw up,
she drank, smoke, then in sadness she cried,
she cried because she was imperfect,
so imperfect she almost died.
Death almost captured this girl,
so critical to the world,
she is imperfect,
but she is a pearl,
a precious gem,
everyone is an imperfect gem,
we need imperfect gems to make a perfect world.

It makes me not only wonder if girls see themselves as perfect. I suppose in a way, its a goal. I can't really relate to this because, i've never felt perfect.
But I think your wisdom and philosophy are right on.
I was impressed with your poem.

| This is deep, and I loved it. Since it's such an older poem then I take it you've always carried such talent. Nicly done. |

Good analogies in this write. Such a sad subject but one that is still too often ignored. Good job.

This poem is a good case senario on how a bulemic see's themself and the world. I agree that this poem displays a lot of wisdom.
Well done

| Well done. I think you captured a lot of feelings teenage girls go through, even if they don't deal with bulimia. Keep up the good work. |

| This poem captures in it the truth about life. I think we are gold that needs to be refined to make us perfect. |

You have captured most every young girl.The feeling of wanting to please everyone' be accepted and all the while doubting themselves not really thinking that noone is perfect.You must have been about thirteen at the time you wrote this.---------Good writing.
