Pursuing and Letting Go
I run after a shadow,
not quite mine,
but one I want to be.
Perfect in my eyes,
not so perfect in others’.
Trying to change
because of judgment
you’d never expect.
In fact, it is true
people whisper and hate.
But years will pass,
and they will learn
their own flaws
are just as clear.
We all chase shadows,
sometimes close enough,
but some dreams
aren’t meant to catch
and that’s how we grow.
One day,
realization hits
and you finally see
how perfect you are.
Judgment comes and goes,
but you live once,
so ignore the flaws
others create,
So, become the better version
only you can be.
