Achieving Perfection


I know it will never be to reach absolute perfectibility No matter how much I try I'm never able to achieve that high I won't be perfect in everything I do my paintings may not have the perfect hue my writing may not be error free my fingers may not always hit the right piano key my words may cause some piercings and I may trip when running But I've learned that it can be fine to not be the very first in line I know I'll never achieve perfection but in reaching for perfection I'll always be improving
