Perfection

By l mo

You want us to be like you,
But that's not what we want.

You want us to be Christians,
I'm an atheist, Sis is a Buddhist.

You want us to follow in your footsteps,
But we want to choose our own futures.

You want us to be comformists,
But we want to be ourselves.

You want us to be perfection,
But thing is that we're not.

    To me, there is no such thing as perfect, but to my dad, there is. Everyone has their flaws, some are just better at hiding them than others. As for me, I'n one of the "others"
