Perfect

the inner struggle wages on
yet somehow my willpower has gone out the window
and what remains is a hollow shell
waiting to complete its ultimate mission

how have i been so lucky as to be given
god's mission
to perfection and nothing less
but somehow self destruction lies in my wake, nothing but

i know i'm pear shaped
i'll never be a size 0
my hips are too large to fit into normal juniors jeans
and somehow i feel like an elephant next to normal, peanut sized paris hilton wannabe women

i know that sometimes i look disheveled
that i'm not as neat as i should be
that i'm not as driven as i used to be
when i'd survive the days with minimal minerals

i want to practice law
but somehow i can't even accomplish the basics
whenever i'm in a zone
there's always someone waiting in the wings to rain on my parade

that's fine
i never wait for things to develop
i always rush in before i hear that there's a forecast for rain
without an umbrella, i'm inevitably drenched

no harm, no foul
all's fair in love and war
all's well that ends well i guess
except my endless quest for perfection

i thought our relationship was perfect
yet somehow i forgot to realize that you're human
you don't know what i need
you don't even try to accomodate what i want

i want affection, attention, and compliments
i want to know that i'm actually someone
not just a random distraction
wouldn't that be perfect

to have endless lovemaking sessions
where time was no object
the way it was when we first met
yet somehow those perfect days have gone along the wayside

maybe you're the only good thing in the equation
and i'm the sabotaging substance
oh, how ironic
seeking perfection only leads to imperfection, but i'm continuing to practice...it only makes perfect
