original poem by Cherita L. Axel
In search of perfection 
We lose ourselves, 
Willing to chop away bit by bit 
Our mind, body and souls 
For an image
Molded by the media
And perfected by technology
Believing beauty can be made
Not seeing true beauty
Unaware that 
Our biggest imperfection
Is that we don’t see 
The perfection in our own reflection
