Resting now in contentment

Perfect is the enemy of good
as perfection is
unobtainable
therefore striving
for perfection
is destructive
and therefore
Perfect is the enemy of good.

May you reach
some of your goals,
but may a few remain
beyond your grasp.
For in striving
and failing 
and keeping on, 
keeping on,
we find that
which is truly precious.

Perfection

Walking, running
Strange sensations felt 
Breeze undeniable
The night, a perfect black
She weeps longingly
Striving to become...
The woman she will never be
Changing forever
