Perfect Is Unreal Poem by Winnie Akinyi

There is no such thing as perfect,
No perfect husband, no perfect wife,
No perfect marriage, no perfect relationship,
No perfect job, no perfect business,
No perfect home, no perfect native,
No perfect life, nothing is perfect,
Be happy, not perfect.

There is no such thing as perfect,
Perfect is imaginary, illusory,
Perfect is impossible, untouchable,
Perfect is unreal, delusive
Perfect is for "dreamers"
Perfect is out of the question,
Be happy, not perfect.

There is no such thing as perfect,
Just be sincere, be genuine,
Just be loving, be kind,
Just be natural, be yourself,
Just be prayerful, be humble
Just be your best, be real,
Be happy, not perfect.
