Practice Make Peace: A Poem for all Perfectionists

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Utah chapter.

Instead of “practice makes perfect”

Why not

Practice makes peace?

You can practice

Your passions

Your love for others

Your self-worth

Constantly.

But there will always be times

When no matter how

Determined you are

No matter how hard you persevere

To meet your perfect expectations

It’s not enough for you.

Instead of constantly striving

For perfection,

Practice

Cherishing perfect moments

Treasuring your perfect laughter

Valuing perfect time well spent

With people you care about.

Practice

Living in the moment

And stop worrying about

A perfect result, ending or future.

Practice not for perfection,

But for peace.
