Perception
Propensity to perfection won’t cease,
Enslaving us to “more and better” mode.
Ruthless ego we strain hard to appease,
Carrying “What Others Think” – quite a load!
Endure all flaws and failures with distress,
Propelled by insecurities within,
Tempt tailoring ourselves, nevertheless,
Inside out of the comfort of our skin.
One only alteration does make sense -
New insight vision and much sharper lens.
