Perfect is the
Seven letter word for
Unattainable.
This is because
Perfection isn’t possible.
Perfection is boring.
And try as you might
You won’t be able to attain it.

But hey, don’t get discouraged.
Imperfection is wonderful, too.
It’s not Perfection,
But it’s much easier,
Not to mention much more attainable.
Imperfection isn’t hard.
You just be yourself.
Because, to me,
Imperfection
Is
The
New
Perfection.
