I will never be perfect I will never be a perfect size 10 model crimson lips pouting at the camera flaunting well-toned thighs and pert little breasts I confess to having hips for baring children and one lover too many after friday night’s 2AM last call but if it would make you love me I’d gladly peel away layers of flesh - In hopes of finding the woman you think I should be I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S |

beautiful poem. The ending painted over the beginning. Everybody can be size 10 or 2 under a flash of shine. But nobody can be you, dear elegant lady. But, for the loved ones, we shall endure the pain. always beautiful. |

"Perfect" is a relative term... Isn't it??  |

Thank you all...this poem was written as a challenge to a photograph...the photograph showed a young (teenage girl) that was pleasantly plump who had cut herself with razors down both arms. This is what resulted from seeing that. Although I, like many women, would love to be slimmer, I've come to terms that this is who I am and after many years of not liking that person very well I truly love the person I am now. Thank you all, my friends, for accepting me flaws and all and seeing the beautiful person that lays inside this temporary shell Ruth |

Aw, Ruth, you speak for most women ~ and I am one of them. There is a lot to say at being comfortable in your own skin ~ and that is when a woman radiates true beauty. I am actually more comfortable with my mature form than I was when I was modeling. I consider myself a fine Bordeaux that improves with age. ~ and I will continue to tell myself that!  Love to you, Ms Perfect 10 in the eyes that behold ~ and love ~ you!  Linda |

Perfect is found in the eyes of another. These eyes find perfection in your verse. sharyn |
