The perfect person we seek to be
to be without weakness is the glee
to be better than the day before
having done well we still want more
we consume stories of the brave
and their perceived glory we crave
we want their faith and their calm
we want their sword in our palm
we don’t want their martyr’s death
or seek the pain of their last breath
we want their courage and respect
just want to be us, but also perfect.
A.G. Munson
