Imperfect

What is perfection but an attempt?
               passion personified as will
               but left wanting
to give in would leave you with nothing

Perfection is a nice dream
               when sleep is needed
                              and morning comes too early

Perfection is a plan you have for the future
               that you should have enacted years ago

Perfection is a long drink of water
               waiting at the desert oasis

Perfection is pursuit and effort
               though it is lost in the result
               you will never achieve it
and for that you are perfect
