The pressure to be perfect it's so strong, it is so great, We all would like to be perfect, But there's only one perfect,his name is God. You would like to change your body, You would like to have a makeover too, Everywhere and anywhere on your body and your face, People changes their noses, they pull their skins, this way and that too. Some people have too many plastic surgeries everywhere, They take care of their wrinkles here and there,that you know, They're so worried about their physical appearance all the time too, But what about your heart, your spirit and your soul,that makes you whole. Have you taken care of these, through all the years you lived,have you? What about your relationship with God, do you have at all, any too? The pressure to be perfect it is so strong,it is so great, But we can never be perfect, so relax and work 'more' in the real you. Dorian PetersenPotter aka ladydp2000 copyright@2014 November,23,2014

"D" -- I really like your take here on "To Be Perfect." At best, it is a mere illusion. People who live with and under these false pretenses do indeed have a big surprise coming. You've captured this theme and its argument so persuasively my dear!! A big "7" from me on this fabulous write D!! Best Always, Gary (P.S. I really like the passion and sense of purpose that you put into all of your poetry. Most special and always enchanting!! -- XOXO, Gary)
