Seeking Perfection
One tries to be above and beyond,
believing there is no other way, to become.
Unable to forgive oneself, ultimately,
from falling short from aspiring, to overcome.
Seeking inside the distinctive measure,
of representing the best, of the very best.
Going toward a higher goal, in mind,
so they wouldn't be, thought of as any less.
There is such a social stigma,
for all to be like the very same.
Then are told to forget who they are,
and from whence they have came.
Believe me, there is nothing wrong,
in seeking perfection, but don't let yourself, go astray.
So if, what you done, doesn't come, to pass,
remember who you are, and who you are, is okay.
