Perfect is not here.
Perfect is not there.
You can look all around,
you still find nothing...


You can tell me I am perfect,
you can tell me I am fine.
But, there is fault in what you say
& that is not a lie...


You are clearly mistaken
you poor, poor fool.
Please, come look closer,
you'll see I am just a tool...


You know you're not wrong.
But, I also know I am right.
Why convince me otherwise,
Why put up such a fight???


You put up such a struggle
to make me believe
that I am...

Go, now.
& don't follow my lead.
I love you to much
for you to end up like me.
Tears &  such
should not come out of your eye's,
for you are far to pretty to cry.
Now that you have left
to be on your own,
I hope you find a brighter day.
One where you won't hear what I have to say.
One where I won't get it the way.
I feel like such a burden on you.

with people getting in the way.
Jealousy is an intense feeling
& you know me,
I've always had a tendency to wear my heart on my sleeve.
Jealousy isn't the only thing,
I feel sadness & hate, too.
But, please, know that this hate

You tell me to talk about it.
Sometimes, I do.
Sometimes, I refuse.

Hello, my name is Anothy.
What I am about to tell you is sad, but true.
Sad for him, but not for you.
I tell a tale of sorrow & despair
about a boy that lost his way & was never aware.
You see, for the longest time
I was perched in that tree.
I watched that boy walk this street.
Every single day
he came to this place.
He would sometimes
walk up the lot
with tears on his face.
But, that didn't happen often,
he had too much pride.
He would hold his feelings back
& die a little more on the inside
each time ...
