165.The Lessons of Life

Perfection in life
I never can conceive
For nobody is perfect
And nothing is perfect.
Perfection is a mere illusion
Perfection is an imperfect notion
Causing only utter commotion.
In trying to be perfect
We become imperfect.
I would prefer to be true
And let my scars
Remind me
Of  my inabilities,
Of my need to improve.
Than live with a feeling
That everything is all right,
I need no improvement
And forget learning
The lessons of life.
