Perfection

Good enough is as good as its going to get you said to me

well **** you

i refuse to settle

if that means im alone

so be it

if it means im the only one left

so be it

i will not settle

and i will not believe that happiness stops at good enough

because nothing is good enough

not until its perfect

and you may say perfection doesnt exist

but thats because you give up at good enough

and you dont know where to look for perfection

ive seen perfection in the eyes of the broken hearted

perfectly miserable

ive seen perfection in the arms of someone else

perfectly invisible

ive seen perfection in words

perfect explanantion

and ive seen perfect in myself

perfectly hopeless

so dont tell me that good enough is as good as its going to get

because i know perfect exists

ive seen it

and i know my perfect is out there

and ill be here waiting

and you, you can just settle

because thats good enough for you

and thats as good as you will ever get
