The Dilemma of Perfection
Perfection takes effort to be attainable,
it's evident that some people expect it;
if a flaw shows in your character, correct it
and by doing so expect the inevitable!
Look perfect in attire, use flattery in speech;
eventually, you'll be noticed for your language...
above all, you'll be praised and loved by the rich!
Forget your roots, they must be silenced or else!
Life can be a satire, see people walking around...
they wear masks, choose one that fits your style;
be perfect in looks and words: you'll be admired,
and pretending, you'll rise to the top with guile!
Commit yourself to perfection and become that myth...
hoping you will be so invincible in your feats;
unless your strength is vulnerable to defeats,
don't take on this challenge and hurl yourself to death!
