199. Why Can't We Poem by Jaden Knight
199. Why Can't We
Why can't we admit that we are flawed
instead of trying to perfect ourselves
perfection is a lie designed to make us fall
and so we do not rise the way we should
many remain staring at where they believe they should be
Why can't we admit we are lost
despite the fact there is no map
cartography is useless in this place
as we seem to make our own landmarks
Maybe we should admit we are wrong
instead we burrow deeper inside ourselves
hoping to be proved right this time
being wrong is not always a bad thing
It's ok to be imperfect here
as none of us ever will be pure
not a sin or crime to be lost
as none of us know where we are
being wrong is not punishable by death
expect at the end of life's days
and when those times do come
that is when we know who we truly are
