Perfection

What is perfection and
how is it attained?

I used to know this.
I knew the policies,
and the guidelines.
I knew the rules and regulations.
I knew the black of it,
and the white of it.
I knew all of the do's
and all of the don'ts.

But I've lost my certainty.

Now, when I look into the mirror
or look into your eyes
and see that I would change nothing,
That is perfection.
