Perfection Doesn't Exist
Trapped behind a glass window
 As if I am on display
 Afraid to make a move or take a risk
 I'm so afraid of speaking my mind
 Almost afraid to live
 I feel like a puppet
 Told how to feel and think
 Living up to high expectations
 Trying not to fall off the pedestal I'm put up on
 A smile conceals the tears of a lost soul
 I'm like a ghost...
 I just go through the motions of like
 I don't dare to actually live it
 If I make a mistake...the people's view of me tarnishes
 One day I'll cut the strings
 Oh how I will celebrate that day!
 My heart knows that it's done apologizing for being human
 Stop the madness
 I'm not perfect
 I never have been and I don't plan on being perfect
 Perfect is boring
 Moments that are unforgettable are the ones that were so screwed up
 So it's perfection that is in the eye of the beholder
 We all have our different versions of perfect
 So ask yourself...if everyone has a different version of perfection...does it really exist?
 I'll answer for you
 No it does not
