Be Original - Be You

the natural glow of unfeigned traits of the imperfect
outshines fake glittering pretence of the so-called perfect

Wow, this is amazing! It is always better to be a “TRUE” imperfect than a “false” perfect. This couplet caught me whole. A fav for me. > JCB

Got that one correct. The fakeness in some situations is so artificial. I like your entry. It reads like a great competitor to me. Way to go. Your visit to my page was inspiring. Sara

Dear Anitha, your words touch my heart. A "fake glittering" exterior is not being true to who you are. YOU, my sweet friend, are original and amazing, all at the same time. Thank you for being here, for always being you. Many wonderful blessings. :) Hugs, Brandy

Oh excellent Anitha. So often I have said even a professional actor can only play a part for so long. Sooner or later the REAL you has to emerge. Bravo. God Bless, JB
