Perfection

Perfection

Always trying to be perfect,
After all this time is being perfect even worth it?
Perfection always on my brain,
The image of perfection is driving me insane.
I do not fit the mold,
Following all the rules is getting old.
I want to determine my own future,
I'm sick of always being the loser.
The good guys always finish last,
Well being a good guy is part of my past.
I have changed, the world had opened my eyes,
I am nothing like all the other guys.
I will create my own path,
Equations in my head so complicated, Einstein couldn't even do the math.
Setbacks and failures in life always holding me back,
I am no longer sitting the bench, I'm ready to attack.
Ready to take what is mine,
I'm done wasting time,
I'm done posting resumes online.
I am not just a number in society,
Never knowing if I'll make it in this world is giving me anxiety.
I want something substantial,
Something more than financial.
I want something I can call my own
A wife, kids and a home,
A big backyard so my dogs can roam.
I want what no one can give,
I want it all,
I want to live.
Create a life with a purpose and die for something,
In the end perfection means nothing.
