Out beyond this death ship
that has me gravity bound
is a blue marble where my
mirror reflection breathes
free of all my errors.
She is what I should be…
kind, generous, not easily angered.
A dreamer who isn’t daunted
by no’s that build blockades.
Her dress is never wrinkled.
She is organized, has an excellent
memory, doesn’t bite her nails,
weighs each word before
it slips from her tongue.
But though I envy her, there
are bits of me she doesn’t
possess in her side of the universe.
Muddy shoes don’t bother me.
I dance while the world stands still.
Tomorrow is a mantra for my
procrastination. I am deaf when
looking through my camera lens.
The other me doesn’t have my vision,
my heart, the tiny scar beneath my
bottom lip, my sense of humor.
On the other side of the moon
my mirror image is the perfect me
I’ll never be. I am finding peace in being flawed.

I think "peace in being flawed" is the perfection we should all aim for. ♥
