Imperfection

Why do we have to be '' perfect '' !

Though there is no such thing as perfection 

But imperfection is beautiful

Because we always have something to reach

A goal to go for

Something to motivate us

To go forward and forward

And every time we feel like we've got there, well No, not yet 

Cause there will always be something more to prove, something to get

So we continue living and pursuing our aims and whatever makes us feel alive

But, if we were " perfect" ( if there is such a thing )

We would be empty

We've got nothing to move us although we have " everything " 

Nothing to inspire or motivate us

Nothing that we wanna reach or have

Cause we would have everything, know everything, do everything

And it's just horrible and fake ! 

Perfect is not an ajdectif to use in order to describe people

It is rather used for other things, like to describe a thing, an idea, a cooking... 

But not people

Because we don't live to be perfect

But to improve ourselves when being imperfect

being perfect is boring :)
being imperfect makes you realise your mistakes and shortcomings. improving yourself along the way should not be considered as bad, but as enlightenment for you to go the the right way.

thank you for this poem jess :)
