Perfection is not achievement based.


Tripping over the piles of clothes and mess on the floor, I walk to my closet

I find myself digging throw to find the exact dress I wore a little over 3 years ago

The dress, not having seen the light of day since, is suddenly being pulled over my head, and I find myself zipping it up

A feeling of grievance which felt all to familiar, but yet for a boy who has crossed my eyes only a few times

Suddenly I'm finding myself putting makeup on and purposely forgetting the mascara like before

Flashing back to the worst day of my life

the same emotions start to flow out but yet now Im filled with confusion

Confusion of why I, not knowing why, am feeling the exact same pain for someone so distant from me, people so distant from me, families so distant from me, but yet less than a community away
