Perfect hair, perfect skin, perfection undefined
In a perfect world I would be a Best selling Author
My book would be in the hands of many oohing and ahhing at my poetic prowess
In a perfect world I would be healthy
My body would be amazingly resilient and I would be so full of energy until
even I would tire of me
In a perfect world I would be insanely happy
In love with the most magnificent of a man
Who not only compliments me but who truly completes me
In a perfect world there would be peace
Harmony amongst the races
No backstabbing or financial displacements
In a perfect world we would be free
Free to soar above trials and tribulations
Free to just be free
But this isn't a perfect world
I am not 5'5, I am 6ft
And no I am not 145 (but still I am BEAUTIFUL)
I do not have perfect hair, its curly at times unruly
And yes my skin during stressful times betrays me
And no I have yet to reach best selling Author status
And no my book is not in the hands of thousands (but it will soon be)
And no I am not healthy, my body unfortunately battling many afflictions
Which threatens to take me at any given moment (only when God is ready)
By no means is this a perfect world as I am happy but not insanely happy
And no that magnificent man has yet to happen my way
And no peace and harmony has yet to instill themselves upon us
As we are being displaced financially losing homes and jobs and sense of self
Yes in a perfect world we would be free
But we aren’t for we are stifled by even our own limitations set purposely
upon ourselves
Trials and Tribulations a constant battle for us to fight just to make it uphill
But fight we must.
No, this isn't a perfect world
And we are far from being perfect
But we are alive and strong with the love of God shielding us
And that is perfection in itself...
