What if life were perfect
and it was impossible to disappoint?
What if frowns were never made
and fingers would never point?
What if heaven was a place on earth,
and everyone lived there?
The sun would shine all day long
and no one would cry or care.

What if we lived in a castle
and you wore a crown on your head?
What if everyone loved you
and worshiped every word you said?

Would you still declare yourself unwanted?
Would you still demand your life was taunted?

What if you were never the victim,
and everyone bowed to you?
If you could never lose your loved ones,
would still you love like you used to?

Would you still have a fear of being left?
Would you still accuse the world of theft?

If your life was everything you wanted,
would you still find fault in it?
If the world was a blinding white,
would you still find black in it?
What if love engulfed you?
would you still insist to hate?
What if you had the world on a platter
and the power to control your fate?

Would you still feel helpless against it all?
Would you still feel prone to grovel and crawl?


What if even I were perfect?
would that finally satisfy you?
Would you feel peace at last
and finally start a new?

What if it was all enough?
Would that be enough for you?
Would you still feel cheated?
And claim your defeated?
Would it ever be enough for you?



What if life were perfect,
and all your dreams came true?
Would you finally be happy?
              
        Of course not!


A world of perfection wouldn't matter
…...........if you're not perfect too.
