Perfection, a word most people seek for
A state people look for their whole life
This little noun drives them crazy, daily
10 letters, one word makes million people go mad
The house, their lives, their makeup, their work need to be perfect
No mistake can show,
everything needs to look smooth & flawless
Flawless, has the the word flaw in it

Let me tell you something
A little girl asked me once if she looked perfect.
She had black leggings and a pink tutu on, on top she wore a pink robe with a sparkling tiara. In one hand she held a wand and in the other an ice cream. Her mouth was stained with chocolate, twirling to the music. She loved herself, all these imperfections, flaws made her perfect.
And all I could say to her was "Yes", with a big grin on my face.
She looked satisfied with the answer and went on with her perfect dancing and eating her favourite ice cream.

No one could take away the things she loved,
so why do we strive for perfection,
when we actually have everything that makes us flawless.
