Unattainable
Unwanted
Unwritten
Unspoken
Everything you work for is a lie
Perfection is not real
It’s plastic like a doll
Or a glass
That won’t break
What won’t break is untouchable
Unthinkable
Everything breaks
Even the perfect in us
The hate and hope and love in us
All of it can break
It’s what makes us real
It real
The world, flawed and crazy
All around us
Real.
How can you want perfection
When you live in the real world?
