Perfect

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 perfect.
But, you can't see,
all the wrongs in my life
have completely consumed me...


Lost in a world of madness & fear.
But, wait.
Lost can't describe this,
complacent is more like it...


Please, go away.
I can sense that I am filling you with dread.
Besides that, it is late,
I should be in bed...




Goodnight.
