What if grass is greener on the other side,

Where the ones who never fail to give,
Hardly have enough to spare,
Where the people with the broadest smiles,

Pursuit of Perfect
Do not give me only perfect
For there is beauty in what lacks,
The things that are most true
Are filled with flaws, covered in cracks.
So stumble on your sentences,

He watched every single sunrise
As though it was his very first,
Like through the grey light of the dawn
A golden firework had burst.
But in truth he simply wondered
What other gifts horizons hold,

It’s like our lives are post and future,
And the point at which they meet
Is the line that we must walk
To keep the present at our feet.
And as long as you stay balanced

“So I let her go,
For it was unfair for me to keep her.
It was the hardest thing I’d ever done,
But I knew it was right.
She was a bird, I had caged,
That had forgotten how to fly,
