The New Perfect

Is this love?
Is love even real?
How am I supposed to know if the T.V. screen doesn’t tell me how to feel?
Here’s the deal
Nowadays we expect make-believe to be reality
When in reality wanting perfect is insanity
I don’t care about perfection
I’m much more interested in failure and correction
And there is no extreme that is too far
That could stop me from telling you
Just be who you are

"To these the past hath its phantoms,
More real than solid earth;
And to these death does not mean decay,
But only another birth"
