They say I’m wasting away
But I’m still not satisfied
Just a little more here
A little more there
Don’t we all strive for perfection at something?
What’s wrong with striving for it within myself?
I’m living in a world of make believe
Where I can be how I want to be
Where that little bit can go away
I’m so close and yet so far away
Just a little more
Just a few more pounds
I’ll be happy soon
I just need to even things out
Reach that desired shape
I’m so close
Just a little more here
A little more there
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
The mirror doesn’t lie

hmmm...pretty good. I can feel your anger, it had a nice flow. " a little more here, a little more there." I liked that line.

Alright, you want perfection. More questions and then give me answers; even if there wrong to you. Thats all I would say anyway.

I loved the way you made the subject of the poem sound like he/she genuinely meant it. It gave a determined, but disturbing quality to it. That's presuming its not a personal thing. Well done anyways.

thanks for all the replies and the compliments. to EleanorMoonbaby the subject of this poem does really want it, it's entirely genuine, all of my poems are personal.  i only write from personal experiences, i figure i have no right to write about anything else, it's only things i've lived that i can truly understand.
