I wanted to be perfect
and I keep striving for perfection
Hard as I tried to be perfect, I kept discovering the imperfections
And I began to clean out the imperfect me
but hard as I tried to clean and wipe out my imperfections
I make more imperfect marks as I cleaned
Imperfect stains dotted the surfaces
And I ended up with the imperfect me again and again
Perhaps, that’s what being human is all about
We live in constant imperfections
Striving for perfection is a mere illusion
We can never be perfect
So let’s live with our perfect imperfections

The more we strive for perfection. The more we reduce our imperfections and the more we understand ourselves.
We are perfect by the perfection of Christ, just as we are righteous by the righteousness of Christ.
Perfection does not mean we don’t have imperfections, it simply means we recognise our imperfections and try to make up for it.
Good words from you.
Bless you.

Our imperfections make us unique and special people. Striving to be perfect is a hopeless cause. Striving to be better today than we were yesterday is as far as we should go.
