No Such Thing As Perfect

No Such Thing As Perfect

written by: Sharona Reeves

 

When waking feels like a death wish each day,
The path seems clear, but lost is the way.
Time drifts by, dreaming of light-filled skies—
The desire is not for money, fame, or prize.
It’s simply to live a day without shame,
And be greeted with warmth, not burden or blame.

Pause for a moment, explore what could be—
A beacon of hope in accepting you’re free.
No longer wandering, lost, or alone,
Hopeless gaps filled with light brightly shone.
After countless trials, it all falls in place,
Though sorrow may hide behind a smiling face.

Tears sometimes slip down dimpled cheeks,
For memories lost, the treasures we seek.
But we mustn’t dwell on how others react
To bitterness skewing intention and fact.

Let go of past choices, the regrets that remain—
Perfection’s a myth, so why chase the pain?
