Recovering Perfectionist (The Poem)

Practice, practice, practice

Practice makes perfect;
Some, thought wise, do say.
Practice approaches perfect;
It should be said that way.

Life has flaws,
but still we strive.
Falling short,
comes with being alive.

We still show up;
We do our thing.
Even if we have
a broken wing.

If what you want,
is situation ideal.
I promise you this,
it won't be real.

So come as you are;
Your best is your best.
You won't get a perfect score,
on every single test.

It's not all right to quit,
and allow a dream to die.
It's better to try and fail,
It's how you learn to fly.
