Shared with OctPoWriMo Day 6 and UBC Day 6.
looking at the blue sky
its face marred by clouds,
but I watch it happily;
looking in the mirror,
seeing the scars I know,
but I accept it to be me;
perfection is perception,
it just matters how I see.

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Very true … perfection is perception … loved it 🙂

perfection is really a perception. Doubt there is anything as such.
I doubt it too, Philomel. 🙂 It’s how we see, and mostly when we see from others eyes rather than our own I think.

How true….. at times we r really tough on ourselves. Trying to tick every thing people consider beautiful but perfection is just perception.
Yeah, Rocket. 🙂 We do tend to notice what others see as perfect. Nothing/no one really is perfect.

Most people put us on a pedestal, and then we struggle hard to conform to their ideas of perfection. But then that is their perception. It is hard to accept us for who we are but when we do, we are truly perfect 🙂

Yeah Jb. We absolutely try our hardest to be someone they perceive us to be. We aren’t always that. I won’t say we are perfect, no one is, but we shouldn’t be trying to achieve another’s perceived perfection, that’s for sure! 🙂

Beautiful poem and great philosophy.
Perfection is just an illusion.

I’d rather be flawed.. perfection scares me.. for its an image one has to live up to without failing…
nicely expressed Leo

Scares the hell out of me too, Pixie. I’d rather be imperfect as well.

Perfection is perception. I believe in the same and never run behind. Happy with what I am 🙂

Me too. I’m happy with 99% of who I am, Sims 😉 But don’t really run after the one 1% 😛
