Perfect


What is perfection?

Would you like a dictionary definition?

What is perfection?

Is it some sort of mission?

 

Perfection is...                                                                                                    Impossible.

Perfection is...                                                                                                    Unnecessary.

Perfection is...                                                                                                    Unreachable.

Perfection is...                                                                                                    A lie.

Perfection is defined...                                                                                   As flawlessness.

Perfection is defined...                                                                                   As completeness.

Perfection is defined...                                                                                   As wholeness.

Perfection is defined...                                                                                   As virtue.

No mom, I'm not perfect.

No mom, it won't happen.

No mom, don't keep trying.

No mom, I'm not perfect.

 

As long as you expect perfection,

It will not be possible.

As long as I am stuck in depression,

I will be seen as irresponsible.

 

No mom, I'm not perfect.

No mom, it won't happen.

No mom, don't keep trying.

No mom, I'm not perfect.
