Perfextion is a poem written by Dana Trick and shared with The Ugly Writers under the theme The Best Bad Idea for the month of January

Perfextion

Perfect relationships,

Prefect mind,

Perfect personality,

Perfect skills,

Perfect life—

All dreams,

All killers.

What do I do with this suicidal lust?

How can I live with this festering greed?

Why do I keep drinking this fatal poison

When I know it doesn’t—shouldn’t—matter?

Free me from this chokehold,

Free me from this oath,

Free me.
