Standing Out
when people
expect
to be perfect
they procrastinate
they don’t start
anything
perfection
can never
be achieved
perfection
is the bottom rung
the lowest bar
to seek perfection
sets an
unachievable goal
thus
discouraging
a beginning
perhaps
instead of
trying to be
perfect
it is better
to be
outstanding

Perfect should be stricken from the record. Expunged.
It's an aimless goal because you will never feel like you're "there"
A poet's poet you are indeed
Much respect
