Seriously though, perfection is overrated held up in high esteem it seem
Most believe perfection is the absence of the bad the ugly and the extreme
Most believe that to be perfect is to be pure devoid of all the flaws or so they deem
However, it all lies in the balance just like the see saw, its not the absence of flaws but the balance of it all
Balance between the good and the bad as seen in nature's law
Well its my opinion and everyone is entitled to one with no intent to cause offence
But under the right lens all this will somehow make sense
Observe, there's no love without hate and pain, we can't have light without the presence of darkness, can't tell what's good without the bad, can't tell what's real without the fakes, mistakes and aches
I can go on and on about this but you get my drift you catch my pace
Just like the faces of a coin, these perspectives help us to appreciate, create, associate and experience
Experiences shape our perspectives and our perspective help shape our lives
That's why I appreciate you... all your strengths and flaws makes you.. you. We ain't picture perfect but we are worth the picture still
So just chill, you don't have to keep trying those shoes they want you to fill
Life didn't come with a manual, we are all just improvising trying to cut the cloak according to our coat.
Maybe you should too and Imma be here for you, just grab ahold of my hand and we will keep afloat.
In my eyes you are perfect so just hold on to that boat and sail ashore, I promise there's more in store.

I stumbled from the ashes of my disdain
Like a Phoenix, I was reborn
I rose to my feet, dusted my knees
Slowly then faster
One foot before the other
Walk, walk, jog, jog, run, run, run
Run without restraint
My heart feels so light
I just might faint
Run to the mountains
Cross the seas, settle in the valley
Finally, I am free
Free to fly
Free to soar
Free to discover so much more
Free to be alive
Free to choose life
Free to refuse the negativity's cries
Free to greet the morning with a smile
Free to relax once in a while
Free to weather any storm
Free to be rebuilt, reformed, reborn

i told my therapist about you,
while your lips were still slathered alllll over my body.
i showed her the places we had been,
and all the things we had seen.
i told her what lies underneath that pretty
pretty
skin of yours,
and i told her how i knew.
i spelt out your name as she scribbled it on her cute little clipboard,
i told her about the first night
and the second
and the fourth
and that time in the closet.
i told her everything,
i really just wanted to get
you
out
of my brain,
it didn't matter if saying these things put me in sososo much pain.
because you've moved on so why can't i?
i told my therapist about you,
but i still can't tell you
goodbye.
i know i'm s t u p i d,
for holding on this l
o
n
g,
i know it's useless,
for wishing you weren't gone.
but my words carry on like a heartbeat
s l o w
steady
fast
u s e d
n t a y
i keep keep keep breaking and breaking and breaking and
i told my therapist about you.

I guess what they say about “Out of sight, out of mind” is false, or maybe it’s just me. Time has elapsed since you left but in my mind you are still among my fondest memories.
I have given you too much airplay in my mind, you monopolize my thoughts ten times out of nine. I feel weak around you, the way superman is around the green kryptonite stone. Wish I could have you, if chance would allow coz you are bad and you know it, you make cupid shoot me like aww!!!
Maybe this is loneliness talking or maybe am acting on impulse, whatever it is, I can’t deny that I want you. Now this aint that Romeo and Juliet fairytale kind of love that you see in movie screens or whatever love songs musicians sing, to me that ain't true. However, I have a genuine interest in you because of the way you make me feel and the way I feel about you, this much is true.
I hate the fact that am indecisive, probably u do too. Am a Libra man, always weighing out things, trying to find a balance between good and bad. But if my past experiences are anything to go by, I know that it’s a risky thing, love is. A risk worth taking. See you… you make me want to throw away my pros and cons and fall in blind, coz am already falling for you and the crazy things you do.
Wish I could move on… the way boys usually do but see I … I don’t want to. I know that feelings sometimes fade and things sometimes change but I would love to try. Wish I could bribe time, love and chance, so that I could have my way with you. It’s not nice to toy with feelings and I don’t intend to. I realized am a man of many wishes but if I had a genie, hypothetical, I would spend all my wishes wishing for true happiness.
