Perfect
April 30, 2018
If I could be perfect,
Would someone listen?
If I could be perfect,
Would my tears still glisten?
If I could be perfect,
Would hope light the way?
If I could be perfect,
Would that hope save the day?
If I could be perfect,
Would I be alright?
If I could be perfect,
Would I feel delight?
If I could be perfect,
Would it be cheesy?
If I could be perfect,
Would I still be perfectly me?

This is dedicated to all of us in our moments of self doubt, and when we just want to be 'more like her' or 'as good as him'. This is a poem reminding others that we are perfectly imperfect, and a few mistakes remind us we're human - and that's a beautiful, wonderful thing.
