Miss Perfection
7. In Growing Up

She's grown up now: she's no longer
the little girl who strived
for perfection.

She's got everything she wants
and everything she wants
to aspire to
and that changes by the day,
with the wind,
instead of being written
in pen
and inerasable

And she can skip a day or two
or speed ahead: there's no schedule
she has to follow, to life
otherwise she'd be stuck

And she's free now
to realise her full potential.
