ALS NaPoWriMo Day 11: Write a poem on the theme of “perfectly imperfect”

 

Poem: Perfection–A Perception

 

Perfection–An endless chase

Imperfection–A way of life

 

Perfection–An illusion

Imperfection–The reality that unfolds

 

Perfection–A myth

Imperfection–The truth of existence

 

Perfection–A race to ace

Imperfection–Embrace slowness

 

Perfection–Creates distance

Imperfection–Instils acceptance

 

Perfection–Follows the structure

Imperfection–Allows the flow

 

Perfection–Pursues balance

Imperfection–Values balance

 

Perfection–Leaves no room for mistakes

Imperfection–Learns from mistakes

Perfection–Leads to discontent

Imperfection–Imbues gratefulness

 

Perfection–Robs peace

Imperfection–Keeps it steady

 

Perfection–Detests scars

Imperfection–Embraces flaws

 

Nothing is perfect–

It was never meant to be

 

We are meant to evolve–

To rise and fall

 

Growth isn’t linear–

It’s a zig-zag curve

 

Perfectly imperfect–

I am; you are

 

Perfectly imperfect–

Is the world we see

 

Perfectly imperfect–

Allows me to be

 

Perfectly imperfect–

Accepts my being
