Perfection Donned Human Skin
Perfection donned human skin,
and played
the violin.
People cheered
in a daze
But never figure what the song says.
A smile of a thousand stars.
Enthralled hearts kept in jars.
Her greatest fear long gone;
Who fears failure if they're never wrong?
Perfection donned human lungs
And spoke
in human tongues.
Issues solved
with her voice,
Though those who listened seldom had choice.
A smile of a thousand stars.
Enthralled hearts kept in jars.
Her greatest fear long gone;
Who fears failure if they're never wrong?
Perfection donned human head,
but with
kind thoughts instead.
And smart ones
filled her too.
How could someone be so wise and true?
A smile of a thousand stars.
Enthralled hearts kept in jars.
Her greatest fear long gone;
Who fears failure if they're never wrong?
Perfection donned human brain
and soon
felt disdain.
"How," she wailed,
"Can this be?
Without success, who could value me?"
A s̶m̶i̶l̶e̶ of a thousand stars.
Enthralled h̶e̶a̶r̶t̶s̶ kept in jars.
Her greatest fear l̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶g̶o̶n̶e̶;
Who fears failure if they're n̶e̶v̶e̶r̶ wrong?
P̶e̶r̶f̶e̶c̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ donned human heart.
Slowly
rose to restart.
Smiled behind
tearstained eyes.
Prospect of perfection: naught but lies.
A smile of a misty sky,
with loved ones by her side.
She'd always fear failure.
But everyone makes mistakes, see?
So it's okay.
