Perfection

You always accept me for who I am Not once have you desired to perfect me You do not reflect my imperfections You smile back justly, "what imperfections?" Way down inside, I feel a twinge of pain. Errorless? But... my whole system was glitched-- How bizarre to be embodied "ideal". Why do I always find those words abstruse? My world is turning upside down, Optimism defeats pessimism Changing inside, I naturally shiver. Nevermore classified with neurosis. Wave goodbye to the old world's confinement, Let the sky explode into glass pieces. Scratch away my eyes. May I gaze deeper? For the first time, someone's arms around me. Like spread out branches of a summer tree Not like a haunting numbness... prickling... Appreciating physicality Your skin warms me like a safety blanket. Driven distraction, fast adaptation-- No longer fearing what I lusted for. Encouraged by you to pursue a dream, You always accept me for who I am Not once have you desired to perfect me You do not reflect my imperfections You smile back justly, "what imperfections?" Please give me time to learn true acceptance.
