Seeking For Perfection Poem by Damilare Odeyemi

SEEKING FOR PERFECTION

Out into the earth with coarsed hair
Spending each passing day
For answering life's questions
Paying keen observation to what is not
Blending in the company of men
Swiftly but subtly loosing standards
Just to be loved by all and sundry

A strive to be perfect on all sides
A term you don't even understand
A term that seems like a mystery
Even as yesterday remains an history
Yet to effect frivolous changes,
You put on the badge of fury

Till when will you stage in insanity
Depriving yourself of good viability
It's high time to face the reality
Even if mind's being clouded by curiousity
You need to operate with all sincerity
Strive to be known for versatility
With this you can claim your authority

Do not always show your daze
In all places and in every phase
Don't confuse men with your haze
But always wear a smiling face
Only to your vision you look with gaze
Then you'll be seen and they'd be amazed

Worry less about your altitude
But modify and guide your attitude
In all ways trust your fortitude
Remember to invest in your aptitude
With time you'll gain your multitude
As fame comes, show your gratitude
