Illusion

Illusion

A Poem by Jade


A sense of normalcy is what I gain by living through the voice of others
Because if I am me the chaos is ALL there can be. 
What's right is wrong and what's wrong is right about me

Its like Sometimes I'm afraid that 2+2 will equal twenty two and not four
The type of illusion that is true but not the truth

I am Jade,not the color nor stone
But does that make me any less precious or beautiful? 
And it does, humans have flaws 
So if beauty is perfection 
And perfection does not exist
Then this ideal of being beautiful is 
A lie

The lie that makes young girls cry and die to reach something that was never attainable in the first place
trying to win a race with no end, 
To be powerful with no friends 
And
It's pitiful

And yet I am running

I'm tired yet the pressure to go on is still underlying 

But if i got rid of all my flaws there would be 

No me.

That my friend is very true. It is so sad how many of us try to reach perfection when there is no such thing. But then again, perfection can mean many different things depending on the perspective it is being seen from. I love the end. It it best to be you then something that you are not. Great write. Well done. (:
