Imperfection is perfection itself

While pondering over our obsession with perfectionism. I came up with these. It is my first time writing in this style. But then again. What the heck. Always nice to try something new. So please enjoy and let me know what needs improvement. ^_^

Imperfection is Perfection itself.
Without it, we will not wonder what perfection is.
A world with everything being perfect,
You will see that it eventually turn defect.

Imperfection is Perfection itself.
As a perfect world will be a world of complacency.
It is a world which lacks the joy of the Aha moments.
It is a world which lacks the breath taking moments.

In a perfect world which lacked imperfections.
One will not know what to do everyday as there is nothing to work on.
One will move through life aimlessly wondering about their uniqueness.

In a perfect world which lacked imperfections,
There will be no joy of giving since everyone has everything.
There will be no joy of learning since nothing needs to be learn.
There will be no joy of improving since nothing needs to be improve
There will be no joy of teaching since nothing is left to be taught.

Imperfection is perfection itself.
It is through its presence that we realize we are just as perfect as anyone else.
We can choose to improve or just stay the same which are both perfectly good.

Embrace imperfections.
It is through them which we see what we wish to work on.

Embrace imperfections.
It is through them that we learn acceptance and forgiveness.

Embrace imperfections.
It is through them that we learn how to love unconditionally.

Embrace imperfections.
As it is these imperfect things about your love ones which you will miss when they are gone.

Embrace imperfections.
As it is in them that we appreciate the perfect moments.

Embrace imperfections.
As it is then you will find that every moment is perfect.

Embrace imperfections.
As you will come to know, there is no such thing as perfect.

Things are just perfect the way it is.

Love yourself and others for the imperfectness as they are already perfect.

  1. thank you very much. I first saw your poem in Good paper in Oct and was profoundly moved by it.

    It is dazzling in its simplicity.

    Sometimes in our busy, frantic lives, we forget about the fundamentals of how to relate to one another..

  2. Hi M, I am glad that you like this poem.

    Many times we just keep thinking about our own imperfections as if it is something really unforgivable. And when we relate to others, usually we only see their imperfections. This holds true especially when we regard with our love ones.

    I just hope that in time to come everyone of us will learn to appreciate everyone and everything for their unique beauty. That includes me too. I am learning to change ^_^.
