I see it in your eyes
The yearning, the itch to soar
To the places where the fire burns ever brighter
To a place that crushes itself underneath you,
To a oasis that crushes on you
For you to become the envy of everything and everyone and even rainbows
That's what you have always and will continually chase
Because you were never told that perfection doesn't actually exist
You have carved more roads than the pioneers, maybe some with dead ends, but roads nonetheless
All your thoughts of a perfect view
Your thoughts of being a king
Keep making you slip up
Because
Goddamnit
Perfection
Has
Never
Existed
Did you forget?
"The best layed plans of mice and men often go array"
You are chasing the unchaseable
You are chasing a nonexistent bullet you would take through your rib cage
Just to be crowned with gold made of misty irises, lies and jewels of "just barely"
And you haven't handed it in yet
There are people and superficial things holding you back from finally jumping and flying
You must think "please, I know your love of me is a thorn, so please let me go"
I see it in you
A reliable soul
You give it wings of intelligence and a crown of strength
This has been purely and religiously developed just behind your ever wondering brown eyes
I just hope you find it
Lest you completely break for the first time
You've been wrapped in bubble wrap all this time
And maybe the bubbles are finally starting to pop
