"perfect"

is an imperfect word itself

it is a contradictory; venomous word

the way it rolls off the tongue

is poisonous

the way it is used is all lies

said from one mouth to another

creating the highest expectation

of perfection

when all perfection really is

is a rotten word; full of deceit

trying to claim its victors

but no

"perfect"

is so completely flawed

irony in itself; is a word

made up

from selfish, greedy people

and used by the hopeless

"perfect" is a flawed word

and I don't like it

"perfect" sits on a shelf

all alone, by itself

like a trophy

that will never be loved.
