Perfect


Perfect?

everything is what you expect it to be.

everything you love,

Nothing you hate.

 

But nothing's perfect.

It's not always what you expect,

Not everything you love

and something you hate.

 

perfect is illusion;

Hate, Love, Passion,

all born from perfect.Perfect is a lie.

 

It's not always there

not 100% perfect

but just enough to make you happy

or appear to end your life

 

perfection is tragic

to be perfect you must destroy... you

your very essence, your soul, your being

don't try to be perfect

Perfection is death.
