In a Perfect World
In a perfect world 02/13/2016
What is this perfect world you speak of?
Can it truly be better than mine?
I do not understand.
This is my perfect world.
It may be bleak at times,
Death may be right around the corner.
But I have all I need,
And that's all that matters to me.
My perfect world.
Wouldn't it be great if we could all hold hands and fix it?
Turn back the clock so no one dies.
Fight the bodily fight with raised hands.
I have friends. I have a home. I have love and care.
I do not seek anymore.
This is my perfect world.
I have people I love and people I don't.
I'm sorry if you don't have that too.
I am lucky with my life.
I am sorry for my utopia.
I am sorry it's your dystopia.
