Whats Perfect

Driving for perfection has always been so unrealistic, what's perfect these days is what others seem to be which is so optimistic, I cant say that I am lying because my verse isn't to guide you into the wrong direction, I'm just telling my story from my life experience that had taught me some valuable lessons, I don't want you to worry, I was raised to be so independent in the way to survive, the only thing I need right now is some reassurance, but the world can do you dirty, the wrong reassurance can be a lie, so be careful who you trust, I learned that from the beginning, being true to yourself is a must, and learn from your sinning, Being just human gives people excuses to do what they want to do, I admit I am one but now I'm moving forward making my way through, I apologize to too many but not within myself, its time to forgive myself, take care of my health, and let the past be for others to dwell, because I know I am not perfect but I'm not going to hell, Jesus is my language and that's another story I will tell, I fought through temptation, starvation, a sinner at best, lying to you is unrealistic, trust me, I've been through all the tests, the only thing close to perfect is my broken story to show you what's possible when you thought all was lost, I swear to you it's not over, it all just begun. Just don't drive for perfection, Be true to you in the best way live to your happiness every single day.
