ITS HARD TO BE A PERFECTIONIST

I have tried to stay detached from people
Remain alone,
A lonely island.

I strive hard to reach perfection.
Many people dont know about this side of me.
What i start, i finish.
And it must be PERFECT.

A little error will not throw me of track,
Because i plan ahead...well, sometimes!.

A slight rebuke, can make me shed tears.
Overdoing it wont move me.

An emotional person, I am.
Vulnerable, i might be.
I DON'T let people know.
I dont let people close.
So they dont get to know the me under the tough-looking exterior.

The me strives for perfection...
But a laid back attitude trips me.

Its hard to be a perfectionist when you feel everything,
and take most things personal...

But I also have a problem, no, a challenge.
I have a laid back attitude!
And in my experience, (LOL!), it doesn't go too well with perfection, sometimes.

Well, before you all start to get the wrong picture,
My perfection doesnt include the way I dress....now that would have been weird!
Its more attuned to the artistic side,
My music, my art, my writing,
Anything creative.
I think God is the greatest artist ever.
Doubting? Take a look...
The perfect symmetry of the leaves...
The kaleidoscope of colors...
The undulating landscape...
The breath taking beauty of Sunrise and Sunset.....
YOU.

But now,
I have learnt not to be a perfectionist, no one can be perfect.
I just have to be an achiever.
Because no matter how perfect whatever I do is,
It doesn't matter if it doesn't fulfill its purpose.

Art is beautiful,
Even if its has flaws.
Even the Monalisa...

So i have decided to be an achiever.I want to be known(?) as someone who achieved something even though not perfect, But in His Eyes.....It doesn't matter...
What counts is my attitude and my heart.
And Him working through me,
To reach out to people with my (HE) Art.
