Perfect
August 17, 2013
Intangible
Yet it can touch you
Just a word
But it can destroy you
1 word
So many meanings to you
7 letters
That look different to everyone and you
Many different ideas
That can each consume you
A word
That'll make you think you've lost your value
Like a wave
That destroys a sandcastle
A disease that takes a life
Perfect
Is just a word
But the word perfect
Can cut easily through your self esteem
Like butter
Gets cut by a knife
