How The LIght's Let In (Imperfection)

Nothings perfect

 
Everything lacks perfection
In the smallest particle there’s a flaw
Imperfection is our protection
Imperfection’s an immutable law

There’s a tiny crack in everything
 But tis how the light’s let in

There exists no perfect circle
An impossibility, a linear line
Nor persists a faultless square
Nor a truly enlightened mind

Yet.. There’s a tiny crack in everything
And tis how the light’s let in

There’s no such thing as perfection
There’s no such condition as ‘just right’
No such thing as exact recollection
No such thing as ‘perfectly tight’

there’s a tiny crack in everything
No matter how wide or thin
It’s the flaw that keeps the dark without
And tis how the light’s let in

Author's Note

this one's not perfect on purpose!

So true!
I remember, when i studied for the first time, that all atoms have imperfections..i was amazed..to know that such tiny structures can also have shortcomings and cracks, like you said! Its not just philosophy after all.. Everything, every single thing is actually imperfect.
What i love the most about this poem is that, you have not implied imperfection to be something wrong..something cruel.. But you have given it a positive note..
The light 's let in.. Such a beautiful thought.

Great job! It's very true too! There isn't any perfection! We all have our small faults, some bigger than others. I really love this poem! Beautiful job!
