Dangerously Seeking Perfection
September 18, 2008
It’s Human Nature
Food = Good
hunger = bad
hunger is pain
Food is Relief
But what if
he defied the laws of Human Nature
What if Pain
was a fair price to pay
for Perfection?
Does Thin = Good?
food = bad?
is Perfection
worth everything?
maybe
maybe he thought so.
But when every spoonful is a battle,
when he weighs
10 pounds less
than his little sister,
when this so called “Perfection”
drives his mother to tears
while his
little sis
hides and watches every teardrop.
In the end
is Life
a fair price to pay
for “perfection”?
