It’s a lie

It’s a rumor

It’s something you want

But can never have

And you will do anything to come close

To perfection

Is there some thing

As the perfect person

They all have flaws

They all have quirks

They all have secrets

Maybe that’s what perfect is

A secret

Do you achieve perfection by hiding your mistakes?

Or is it a secret to know how to earn it

That must never be told

That is unknown

That may or may not be true

You can achieve greatness

You can achieve beauty

You can achieve anything

Except perfection

It is impossible

You are not perfect

But guess what

No one is

That is what makes us take risk

That is what makes us learn

That is what makes us live

For you see that is the answer

Perfect is not living.
