Imperfection is perfection
Happiness and destruction embody my world
They cry like banshees
They hit like wrecking balls
It's a party when people laugh
It's a fashion when people smile
It smells sour
It smells sweet
It feels rough
It feels smooth
They work
They live
They hurt
They heal
It's dark inside
It's dark outside
It's bright inside
It's bright outside
They leave
They stay
It's black and gray
It's colorful
Imperfection is perfection
Happiness and destruction embody my world

The author's comments:
In my L.A class we were supposed to create our perfect utopia. I chose not to write about a place of no harm. I love the world we live in and would not change it if I had the chance to. All the emotions we have, like hurt and pain even, is part of this world and part of how we live.I would not change the world's emotions.
