Perfection's Jaws

Sometimes, words can hurt more than swords

Sometimes, spats can turn into wars

But are the small things really worth the large prize?

Or is that reward just a fight in disguise?


Reality cannot be without flaws

You expect perfection, but get caught in its jaws

You can't aim to be do perfectly like you plan

You can only expect to do as best as you can


I know, life can be like a rainy day

Everyone has times when they feel that way

But without both the sun and rain, nothing can grow

And without both the sun and rain, you can't spot a rainbow


Reality cannot be without flaws

You expect perfection, but get caught in its jaws

You can't aim to be do perfectly like you plan

You can only expect to do as best as you can


You can't pick a rose without being spiked by its thorns

You can't have warmth without being burned

One thing may hurt as much as it can heal

It's something many need to learn


Reality cannot be without flaws

You expect perfection, but get caught in its jaws

You can't aim to be do perfectly like you plan

You can only expect to do as best as you can


Each argument has a cause

Each person has their flaws

Perfection is not a law

Oh don't get caught in it's jaws


Reality cannot be without flaws

Don't expect perfection, just to get caught in its jaws

Yeah don't aim to be do perfectly like you plan

We'll all just do as best as we can


So, I sent version 1 of this to a friend after another friend destroyed her base in a Minecraft world and I tried to settle the fight and then she just got mad at me. Then I went back and made it into a song, so, I guess poetry can have weird causes!
