I imagined perfection for us

It was my own imperfection that thought this was possible

My high expectations unreasonable

I walk with my head in the clouds

Oblivious to the reality in front of me

How could we be perfect

We are humans after all

I’m sure as hell not

How could I expect you to be

It only caused more chaos

Allowed for there to be mistakes

Minimizing the window of hope

Making an impossible vision

Now I must reimagine what perfection looks like

Making room for mistakes

Opening the door to our own challenges

So we can learn to survive life

Without the pressure of getting it right all the time

Finding grace within us

When it doesn’t go as planned

Opening our eyes to what is really on our path

With crystal clear vision

I now understand that

Imperfection is perfection
