Unreachable Perfection
I will never be perfect, is a lesson I’ve learned
To be still, is something never earned.
Movement must be constant; a reminder of who I’ve been.
Even the smallest moment of stillness, I consider a win.
Feelings, beings, tearings, never is enough;
For when I try to be honest, you just leave in a huff.
Compared to a younger version, hidden from the truth,
Is something, I’ve learnt, is what hurt me in my youth.
Anger, rage, fury, and hatred- all is how I feel now,
When looking at the one who is better than I, somehow.
Perfection is a struggle I’ve always strived for.
But whenever I show all of my work, you always require more.
More, more, more, is all I ever give,
But even the smallest mistake, you never forgive.
Struggle, strife, just maybe, a little longer,
Is something that I constantly ponder.
A sister of perfection, a sister filled with purity,
Is more than I’ll ever be.
A sister filled with joy, a sister I resent,
Another topic for me to lament.
