Usually English is
My favorite subject
since I love both
Reading and writing.

However this assignment
Was

How do I put it?

....

It was just plain weird

What we were
Told to do
Was to

Well,

Pick a word
Of your choice as

Long as it wasn't

Inappropriate for school

Of course

And with it describe
What that word means to
You.

Now I'm stuck because
How am I suppose to
Pick one word
Out of thousands.

This assignment was
Irrational

Mainly because I got
Nothing yet.

It wasn't until I got home
was when the idea

Finally hit me

Sure, it's a bit
Personal, but

If I think about it
Wasn't it personal to
Begin with since
We're describing a
Word in our own terms

Or maybe that's just me

I'm not sure.

I do know that
I'm going for the word
That has finally popped into
My mind.

It just feels so
Right.

Grabbing my pencil hard
To make sure I don't drop it
Because of how clumsy I am

I finally start working on my assignment.

Perfection

This is the word I
Chose.

Perfection definition is
Flawless as we all know,

But I believe that
Isn't correct in the slightest

Nothing in the world is
Flawless, so how would
We be able to use that
Word daily if for that?

Sure, it's A
Popular word
Used by many

Heck I bet ya

I've heard it at least  thousands
Of times on TV shows
And movies

When the characters
Either are making
A party for someone special
Or trying to improve
A skill of theirs

They will say:

"It has to be perfect"

"If I want to impress
The judges, my act has to
Be perfect."

And much more.

Now usually I don't pay attention
To that since it's a show
And I just want to
Enjoy watching it,

But anytime I watch a show or
Movie like that

The person ends up messing up
Right after they say that

And end up devastated, but
In the end

They reach their goals
Happily.

However has anyone
Ever Wondered why
The character was able
To do it the
Second time and not the first?

Sure, that can
Be easily answered as
Either they learned from their
Past mistakes or learned new skills
Which would indeed be true
I suppose

However

I truly believe that
What had changed them
The most

Was

Their perspective of
Perfection.

They finally realized
Perfection's true meaning was
Flawed

And even without the meaning
I would say it's still the most
Flawed word that was  out there.

The word is
flawed because
It can corrupt
a Person's mind.

The meaning is flawed because people wanting that perfection
Makes them believe
They can make no
Mistakes themselves

That is not the way
That the word perfection
Should be described as
It's toxic,

So

My version

Of perfection is this;

Perfection is impossible to
Reach, but it doesn't
Mean we can't try.

See

It's true meaning means we all have much to Learn about
The world

And ourselves.

We learn from the mistakes
Our past selfs make

And grow from then on and there
Fourth.

Of course their will be bumps
here and there

Then again what road doesn't
Have them?

Perfection is a journey

A journey to discover

Ourselves

All of our negatives

All of our weakness

All of our pain

All of our Mistakes

All of our flaws

And

All of our Positives

All of our Strengths

All of our Happiness

All of our Successes

All of our flaws

Just

Everything that
Made us
Who we were

Because this is truly what
perfection is to
Me

Simply

A person or animal

Going through
A Journey
to find who
They truly are

And finding those

Who accepts and
Can be called either
There

Family, friend,
or even
A partner.

And Lastly

The easiest way for
Me to describe this word

Is this;

  Perfection
Is made up of
Flaws, so it
Cannot be flawless.

Err- The last part
Was Pretty medicore though,
But it's just a school
Assignment,

And I would just be satisfied
With a C

Author Note: I didn't actually do this as a writing assignment at school, but I wanted to pretend that an unknown
Character did. Don't ask why because I'm not sure why I did that myself.
