Lacking Nothing

Perfect and lacking the words dance in my head.
Perfection is a belief that should stay dead, 

To lack information instead.
Learning that I can grow that must stay.

Perfection and lacking two unequal words,
Perfection is a lie, a victory never reached.

Lacking nothing is a belief that gives hope and sweet peace.
Perfection not needed here, simple trust without fear.

Perfectionism is a wall that I often bang my head on. A stump that keeps us from growing. Quite nice!
