Perfection...

JaydenS532

Perfection...
The unobtainable standard
The standard at which we strive for
No one is perfect
No one can be

Happiness...
The fleeting feeling
The one we strive to keep as long as possible
The one we wish would never fade...
Happiness will fail us

Fear...
The warning signs
The one that helps us attempt perfection
The lasting feeling
The one that strives to help... but ends up
hurting us moreso.

Anger...
The most feared of the feelings.
The one that hurts us.
Causes us to hurt others...
Anger... the one best left behind...

Sadness...
The precursor to anger
The feeling of not enough
The feeling that drives us forward...
even moreso than the others...
The one that hurts in the beginning... but
helps in the end...
