About perfection
And one’s way to strive for it.
I find I spend my whole life
Trying not to throw in that towel
Not until I die…
I avoid depression
By means of fight and pride
One needs first that beauty
Outside…
Then it’ll be more than enough
To get to see it
Probably only you
And at least
Inside…
In my striving for perfection
Different projections
Come to play
There is a time
When I need a standby
When I could as well die
Then worry, why
Since life waits for nobody
So often having to
Make up one’s mind
Despite knowing
All the same
That perfection I won’t find
Until I die...

such an intruiging poem, yet i can read it over and over and realize there is so much truth in it
How true this is... all our life seeking and wanting and yet nothing turns out the way we want it.
Beautiful and deeply philosophical poem, Dulce. Perfection, of course, is an unattainable goal, but so many of us strive for it. It also depends what your idea of perfection is, for it is different for everybody. Alas, they do say that trying to be happy is the quickest way to misery.
there is some deep wisdom in this one dulce...no i will never...so i will not waste precious moments trying...
Very moving poem. We all search for completion of our circle. To go home and become one with the beginning. Beautiful work.

Das ist nicht möglich ,
für nichts leben braucht man nicht .

Dulce this is GOOD. Most Peeps strive to excel in work, play, relationships, health, social behavior, loving and being loved.
And 'striving for perfection in my life' puts me on the right track to achieve many benefits along the way.
This is not prideful stuff. It is reality. There is a goal, even if unreachable in earthly life.
You always write so well. I keep looking for a distinct criticism to comment. Maybe some day?
Hugs, girl!
Wow!! This is beautiful!!
Thank you for stopping by my blog earlier today. I'm also happy to meet you!!
Very philosophical. We are always looking for perfection, wanting and searching for something other than what is. But what is perfection?
As you say, it will be in death. Our life is perfect as is.
Enjoy your weekend! Love your new look. Where do you find blog backgrounds?
I had to stop seeking perfection in order to get closer to it. I try to tell this to people and they don;t buy it. They tell me they want to cling to being a perfectionist, and in the mean time they accomplish so little since if it's not perfect they give up.
Just let the words fly and see where they land.
Good stuff!
This was a beautiful glimpse into a soul...I'm going enjoy reading this again because there's such honesty here...
I didn't make it for this one, Sweetest. But I wanted to tell you that your thoughts about "both" are so very profound. I have been soul-searching, lately. And your words echo some of my very thoughts. Loved this, my dear!
Warm hugs,
Nevine
