perfectly Imperfect


what does perfect even mean? perfect smile, perfect hair, perfect body but for what? but even the most perfect people have imperfect moments Society drugs the image of an individual, if one isn't perfect such will never fit in. If one is not skinny one’s not pretty if you don’t have the best smile you won’t be noticed. expensive clothes do not make the person. the brand new makeup doesn't mask the truth written on your face Perfect house, perfect husband perfect life but how does one truly feel? sometimes perfection causes unhappiness. perfection is an illusion those who crave perfection are dreamers and solely dreamers. your true self is a ticking time bomb and time is up Embrace who are, stop drowning in silence, such ocean never existed destroy the mask on your face before it becomes permanent. Start loving the reflection and stop being the shadow be happily imperfect
