Idealization

If life were "perfect"
Everything would go my way
I'd get what I want
I'd get who I want

If life were "perfect"
We'd be together
She would be nicer
Getting along wouldn't be a struggle

If life were "perfect"
I'd ace all of my classes
Each one with ease
Colleges would come knocking on my door

If life were "perfect"
Emotions would be less complex
I'd get to smile more
My bubble of fear would pop

But life is not "perfect"
Not everything will fall into place
I have to accept that
And find a way to cope

Life is perfect, however
In the sense that
I am where I am supposed to be
My relationships are my relationships
My grades are my grades
My feelings are my feelings
And life is life
