Not So Perfect Me!! I am a perfectionist. You may not see. But everything I do, is never good enough to me. I am a failure, in this place. Bittersweet, is all I taste. My glass's half empty, never full. Always the negative, this I know. Too much thinking, second guessing. Over & over, always messing. No matter how many times, it's never done. I'm never satisfied, so I give up & run. If it's not spur of the moment, then thoughts will flow. I'll hide all my feelings. I will not go. Don't want to burden, don't want others to grin, because of all that's not perfect, inside me, within. So I sit up all night, rarely sleep. I question my whole life, & then I weep. Do they just pretend to care? Feel sorry for me? Am I blind to the truth? Why can't I see? Please help me trust! Please help me be! Please let me rest! Please comfort me!

So much of how we live our lives is determined by our mindset which has been developed and accepted over a long period of time...through an awareness and determination we can change the way we think, and the way we respond and the way we live our lives...James |

How can you be a failure ? You do ask questions answers are waiting |

Thanx Carolina for the reply--I don't exactly think I'm a completly failure to everyone, just myself, but I feel that I can never live up to the expectations that everyone has placed on me & I have placed on myself. I'm just never good enough for noone. They always want better. ELMO |

I know what you mean. But if it is any comfort you wrote it out perfectly.. Awesome job, and they are right if you can honestly question yourself, soon you'll be able to fine the answers and things can get better. ~jen Freedom is not Free (Korean War memorial) |

This is a well-written piece. You expressed some pretty heavy issues, and did it wonderfully. I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Good luck. *hugs* --Marie "It's been a long December, and there's reason to believe that maybe this year will be better than the last." (Counting Crows) |

You've expressed your thoughts and feelings so well. How do I know this, cause they are also my thoughts and feelings, along with a lot of people's unfortunately. You have a lot of people at Pip who care. Dawn |

The last 4 lines are the most poignant; they're universally understood. :) |
