Pretense of Perfection
We all have this pretense of perfection.
No one wants to believe in flaws.
We are pushed to be perfect.
Pushed so hard.
Pushed too far.
Reaching perfection
Is like touching the sky.
Always the goal
Not ever probable.
Many think that perfection is a dream.
Instead, it's a nightmare.
A nightmare we wake up crying from.
Love is the beginning and the end.
Perfection is a nice image
But never believe that it will happen.
Every day we get closer to perfection
And yet, we will never be as close
As we are right now.
