The Dilemma of Perfection

Perfection takes effort to be attainable, it's evident that some people expect it; if a flaw shows in your character, correct it and by doing so expect the inevitable! Look perfect in attire, use flattery in speech; eventually, you'll be noticed for your language... above all, you'll be praised and loved by the rich! Forget your roots, they must be silenced or else! Life can be a satire, see people walking around... they wear masks, choose one that fits your style; be perfect in looks and words: you'll be admired, and pretending, you'll rise to the top with guile! Commit yourself to perfection and become that myth... hoping you will be so invincible in your feats; unless your strength is vulnerable to defeats, don't take on this challenge and hurl yourself to death!
