I'm set apart from them so I decided to set the standard, and it just might be the same reason I'm having trouble handling it, so I ask myself does she really have to be damn near perfect when it's clear you got flaws, emotions that go up and down like a seesaw and promises you're sure to break like laws. So I segregated me from them like Jim Crow, my expectations are high but still I hang my head low, if I don't make good on what I say then obviously it was all for show, my vision is tainted I'll gladly admit it, looks like my past speaks to my present so I'm still a victim of my own sickness, I should take my own advice right, and admit when I'm wrong but what I long for seems so outta reach and even tho God made that covenant with man he still deemed it necessary to fill that void we were feeling with a female, that one that makes us get back on the right track when it's obvious by our lonesome our train de rails when we try to do it on our own, looks like I should be the one privileged to be in her presence because with all my issues I know in her arms is where I can say there's no place like home
