Perfection
July 22, 2011
She was beautiful.
She was talented.
She was unhappy...
Because she could be perfected.
Her friends loved her.
Everyone wanted to be her.
But in her head...
She couldn’t feel any lesser.
Every mistake...
Pushed her to perfection,
Until one day...
She found herself in heaven.
She asked why she was there.
They said she was too good for Earth.
We're not meant to be perfect...
So what's perfection really worth?
