Perfect Me

I’ve got to smile honestly
A good nights rest with 8 hours sleep
Look your best with good hygiene
Keep your teeth nice and clean
Back yourself but modestly
Show your friends empathy
Make more time for family
Go somewhere you’ve never been
I’ve come to my senses
Life’s not easy
It leaves you guessing
Just keep breathing
I’ve got to be
The perfect me
To be true and direct

It’s as hard as you’d suspect
Is that cynicism I detect?
Or my lyricism I detest?
Wait, I’ve 3 more things to say
You’ve got to learn from your mistakes
Over time you will change
No one leaves here unscathed

I get by with my pilot light bright
I'm my own worst energy
Half the time
