I know it will never be
to reach absolute perfectibility

No matter how much I try
I'm never able to achieve that high

I won't be perfect in everything I do
my paintings may not have the perfect hue

my writing may not be error free
my fingers may not always hit the right piano key

my words may cause some piercings
and I may trip when running

But I've learned that it can be fine
to not be the very first in line

I know I'll never achieve perfection
but in reaching for perfection

I'll always be improving
