Not The ¨Perfect¨ Poem
The word ¨perfect¨ should not exist.
No one,
No thing,
No place,
No planet,
Can be perfect
Everything has its flaws
I don't have a perfect life
The perfect nose
The perfect smile
The perfect clothes
But I do have a life for which I am grateful for
We put these ideas about being perfect
In our heads because our world
Sets standards that are too far for us to grasp
And these high expectations are distant
Like the Skyscrapers way above our heads
Our past had an ideal dream that we worked towards throughout history
But we failed over and over again
Because we will never reach the utopia they had planted in our minds
"Perfection,
Is just an illusion that tells you
You are less than who you are"
We need to look past those flawless lives and looks we see around us
No one will ever achieve perfection
Because we are better than ¨perfection¨

This is a Borrowed Line Poem. The borrowed line is "Perfection, is just an illusion that tells you you are less than who you are" quoted from Samukele Ncube. I was inspired by the topic of perfection, which we always see around us and are faced with high standards of all kinds daily.
