I can relate and trust me, some 'perfectionists' suffer for a lifetime. I loved the second half of this-it really struck me and made me think of myself.

I know some people who are like that. Good job.

Quite a lovely poem...intense and nearly heartbreaking. We feel for the perfectionist even if we aren't her, and more if we are. "Staining her lovely white sheet/With a melancholy tinge/Of pain and transgression" is beautiful-tragic imagery.

This is really good, and I'm sorry now that I let the first poem I read keep me so long from returning to your work. I'll certainly be back to read more.

Another excellent piece of work like usual. Can't relate though, not a perfectionist myself. But I do understand the wanted to reach goal sort of idea. Anyways, -stops ranting- good job.

Another your question about sin, I didn't really think about it that much. Hm.

As always, thanks for the reviews!

wow, I know what that's like (I'm a real perfectionist). well done:)
