Ins’t Perfect

By: Ernest Dorman

 

To the midwife who said it doesn’t

Matter if my son “isn’t perfect”

Because perfection doesn’t exist

Perfection is ungraspable

 

The crave for perfection

Is what ruins us,

The love to be correct

Pure, right

Morally and ethically,

To be complete

 

No one can be this word

Perfect.

It is a part of being human.

 

Flaws

Is what humans are made of?

It seeps out of us when we

Are angry and sad,

Lonely and vulnerable

 

Love makes us overlook these

Things we call flaws.

Perfection is in the eye of the beholder.

That’s the beauty of it,

Imperfection is beautiful

So thank you midwife.
