Perfect
Perfect
 Purr-fect
 What a 
 Sweet-Sounding 
 Word
 
 But it's not
 
 Who can be Perfect? 
 It's just not 
 Possible. 
 
 You can only be
 Close
 
 Perfect is like pi
 It's a number? 
 A thing
 That goes on and
 On
 
 It's that mountain
 You spend so many hours
 On
 Trying to reach for 
 It
 
 You are so 
 close 
 to the top
 But just as you 
 Reach up to grab
 The tip,
 It crumbles in 
 Your hand
 
 You fall,
 Air finally cooling the sweat on 
 Your 
 Hands
 And you think,
 
 Perfect
