Pursuing and Letting Go

I run after a shadow, not quite mine, but one I want to be. Perfect in my eyes, not so perfect in others’. Trying to change because of judgment you’d never expect. In fact, it is true people whisper and hate. But years will pass, and they will learn their own flaws are just as clear. We all chase shadows, sometimes close enough, but some dreams aren’t meant to catch and that’s how we grow. One day, realization hits and you finally see how perfect you are. Judgment comes and goes, but you live once, so ignore the flaws others create, So, become the better version only you can be.
