Definition of Perfection

Perfection is unpredictable

Perfection is not a lack of mistakes, nor a lack of improvement

Perfection is knowing what you want to be, and why you've come so far

It is humility and beauty with little flaws

Perfection is presence

Perfection is the way you smile, and everyone who sees you receives comfort

Perfection is the thought that you're everywhere when you're not

It is love combined with torture

Perfection is effort

Perfection is trying, whether or not you're achieving

Perfection is living for the ones who live for you, even if you don't need them the way you think you do

It is appreciation and never destruction

Perfection is freedom

Perfection is power that isn't often used in vain 

Perfection is not regretting the choices that brought you to a better place

It is understanding while somehow staying sane

Perfection is the person who sees the good in the turmoil

And brings light to the ones who don't

It is the person who sees the bigger picture

And not a singular view of the world

Perfection is validation

When everyone else passes by

Perfection is your essence

And I would be lost if it were shy
