No Such Thing as Perfect

No ideal life, why ? Because every turn has a twist

No Such Thing as Perfect

There is no such thing as the perfect man,

No perfect woman walking this land,

We carry stories, scars and mistakes,

Learning through choices each lifetime makes.

Some hide their flaws behind polished smiles,

Some walk through storms for endless miles,

Yet beneath the surface we all remain,

Touched by joy and shaped by pain.

Perfection fades when seen too near,

No soul exists untouched by fear,

No heart escapes a restless day,

No life unfolds one flawless way.

The strongest people still break inside,

The quiet ones still have things they hide,

The brightest laugh can mask the strain,

Even sunshine arrives through rain.

We search for someone without a crack,

Then realise life does not work like that,

Real love begins when truth is shown,

And people are valued as they are known.

No perfect face, no perfect mind,

No endless patience every time,

Only people trying their best,

Finding moments of peace and rest.

This era chases impossible views,

Filtered ideals and borrowed truths,

Yet beauty lives where honesty stays,

In ordinary hearts and imperfect days.

No measuring worth or impossible plans,

No perfect woman, no perfect man,

Only human souls finding their way,

Growing a little more each day.
