Perfection is boring

That’s what they say!

Yet, a crack in the veneer

Sends them spiralling away.

~~~

“Oh yes, I want you. 

I want ALL of you!”

They often beg for a taste

Too much for a few.

~~~

Perfectly imperfect

With flaws in abundance.

For those who remain 

Are ones of substance.

~~~

Some scars are apparent

Others more subtle.

I take care of myself 

But appreciate a cuddle.

~~~

Perfection is unattainable 

And often so am I!

Rarely do they stop

To wonder if and why.

~~~

So I’ll continue my dance

Perfectly so much more.

And revel in myself 

Imperfect to the core.
