I had ceased from trying to be perfect,
Ever since the moment I found out
Perfection on earth is somewhat a fairytale.
Just like how our uniform friends say bail is free
And how the active protesters went without a trail
I had stopped trying to be perfect enough for my best friends
Ever since when I over thought about the days
They left and will leave me like I totally never existed.
After all they are just FRI-ENDS
And we are all in a tiktok challenge following trends.
I don't believe in perfection anymore
Yes, being the best is attainable but perfection is somehow impossible
That's why I don't grief when mom tries to strike me down
For not being up to her taste
I now aim for a position between good and bad
That touch of grey at the centre of black and white
Become friends with the light without being a foe of the dark
Like that glowing orb that glitters white between a burning globe and earth
Like a king back from war
You know, life can't never be on a balanced scale
Maybe that's why
The best testimonies pour out from the innocents in jail.
