striving for perfection
creates an image
of someone attempting to acheive a goal
that is unreachable
there is a long way down
to the ground from the mountian of perfection-
even though you might not hit the ground as quick
the sudden impact will change you forever
the mountain is full of temtation-
resisting is the only way to survive
it will be a difficult choice
but the final battle
will be between what is easy...
..and what is right
Author notes
i thought about tieing in the title of the contest... "four years and counting...". i have been struggling with bulimia since the fall of last year. luckily i stopped early on, but i know how hard it has been for me to get to this point...it will be 1yr 1/2 in late august.....i knew that the choice was going to be very difficult for me, and at first i didnt choose it, but in the end i did...and i know that it was the right choice, however hard it was for me at that time...i want to be able to eventually say... "four years and counting..." :)
is the title okay?
