Perfect.
Ask all of yourselves this…
What really is the meaning of 'perfect'?
The best that ever will or could be?
It seems that everyone wants to be this…
Most of them probably won’t know what it means if you asked them.

Perfect should not be in the dictionary.
It’s unreal to those who know they can’t get there.
Staying up late at night,
Doing things that seem impossible,
Crying their poor eyes out…
Just because they wish to be perfect.

Their parents never say it.
But, what else would a child think?
When they get yelled at for making a small mistake?
Even when they try to correct it…
It’s still not good enough.

Of course, it’s always better if you do the greatest every time.
Though, no one is able to do that.
Not all the time.
Mistakes fill everybody’s life,
Some bigger or smaller then others.
Someone with a life full of mistakes may look at someone who has barely
started their own life,
And shoot them down, treating them like they’re not important.

Small mistakes should be forgiven.
Bigger ones over time should be forgiven as well.
The one’s giving up hope on being 'perfect',
Should try to just be 'okay'.
Others may not like it,
But it is for yourself.
Not them.
