Perfection is pain
Imperfection perfectly portrays the purpose of people.
Eyes, nose, mouth; they make us all the same.
But: Beauty, ugly, plain are all labels that reign
over perception and are what cause initial disdain,
but once you get to know them, their dignity can regain.
Yet if you'd have initially been one to remain
neural, you are someone who prevents pain.
People who think they are perfect are the most vain,
but those who accept themselves are the ones society chooses to drain.
The entire concept boggles the brain
of someone who's heart and mind twain
Prejudging is deign
And those that do,
their own dignity is what they have slain.
