Perfection

Perfection

original poem by Cherita L. Axel

In search of perfection
We lose ourselves,
Willing to chop away bit by bit
Our mind, body and souls
For an image
Molded by the media
And perfected by technology
Believing beauty can be made
Not seeing true beauty
Unaware that
Our biggest imperfection
Is that we don’t see
The perfection in our own reflection
