" PERFECT "

We live in this world,
A world where the need to be perfect,
The need to be accepted,
Is more important than life itself.
But why?
Why do people feel the need to be " perfect " ?
Is it right?
No.
But people tell us that to be " perfect " is everything
And that not to be is nothing
And no body wants to be nothing.
I say
Live life.
Don't let others tell you what to be
And how to be it.
Be proud of who you are
Of what you are
We live in this world
And in this world
You are perfect
