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.

You can't trust humanity
As soon as you think you are safe,
somebody pushes you off the bridge,
or stabs you with a knife in the back.
Be careful who you talk to.
They might seem nice,
but sooner or later the true colours will show.

I got to meet new people
I got to spend time with family
Four weeks gone in an eye blink
I learned a lot about life, people and myself
Me, the person who controls where I'll be heading
If the day is bad, there is always a tomorrow
Make the most out of everything we don't know when all of this ends
Take risks, take chances
Don't care what others might think or say
Do your own thing and let them talk
And the most important part
Just let it go
We can only control so much,
if it doesn't work out it is how things should be
Everything happens for a reason
Don't let yourself down
Just walk through the rain,
because you know the sun always comes out again
We travel to learn, to experience and to understand life better
So, today I will fly home and take things back with me
The good and the bad.
Love yourself <3

A promise to you little girl I cannot make
The things I did to you are not fake
I would be lying if I told you that I had fun
Your eyes don't shine anymore like the sun

The times I left you alone cannot be excused
When they would laugh at you amused
Felt like thousand knives
And they were tearing you apart like evil mice

They pushed you around and used you
You let them come like a soldier who knew
But nobody ever thought to save
I kept you lost and scared in the maze

The past is past
Still we go fast
Even though we aren't both fixed
Society doesn't care and makes us mixed

You remind me everyday
That I lost and broke you in the darkest way
I still hold you close
Like a beautiful rose

Because you are my precious
And everyone who laughed was jealous
From now on I will keep you safe
No one will ever make you their slave

A promise to you little girl I cannot make
You are stitched up and won't break
I will look after you
As if nobody knew

— The End —
