perfection

It does not exist, perfection. 

Whoever sold you the lie 

That you can somehow find,

Achieve, be, or create it 

Gave you false hope that

Never will be found here. 

Instead—

Go for gold 

In your everyday 

Way 

Reaching for your best.  

And always 

Always

Always 

Give yourself grace 

Because God does. 

Strike out again and again, 

But never give up on you. 

Never give up on faith and truth. 

Be perfect in the act of striving 

To endure. 

Find perfection in the way 

You make the day better 

No matter how it was 

Before you go 

And turn it around.
