I want to be perfection
But think of all the pizza
I'd have to stop eating.
Oh God, the horror.

I wish I could show love,
Rather than just feel it.

I wish I could ignore hate
Instead of being consumed.

The desire to radiate the affection
I feel for others,
Rather than stuttering and stammering
When the words won't come out right
Or they are misinterpreted
Or merely disregarded
As lies.
