Perfection
Little did we know
There’s no such thing as perfection
The more we grasped for it
The further away it got
Perfection in one area
Meant neglect elsewhere
Why did nobody tell us
Life is about balance
Doing our best
What more can we do
Never achieving illusive perfection
But balancing what’s most important
