Perfect
Something I've never longed to be
I'm not cocky, trust me
To think I am already
But what defines perfect, eh?
Is it the appearance physically?
Or a tough, empty inside
That's drained emotionally?
Is it the teeth without braces?
The skin without the spots?
Or are these too stereotypical
To be considered perfect flaws?
Perhaps it's the wrists
Uncut and smooth as stone
Or the eyes that never water
Or the breaks that don't touch bone
Maybe it's the mindset
Collected, cool, and calm
Never nervous, never flustered
Never with a sweaty palm
Perfect is impossible
An outcome that will never be
Sure, we aim and try our best
But we fail tragically
Perfect is ideal
Ideally imperfect
Completely unrealistic
