RE: RE: RE: Almost perfect

You don't have to lie to hide who you are
Just be vague and noncommital,
People will fill in the blanks on their own
And your perfection'll be misunderstood just a little!

Not a lie exactly
just a little story
It makes the world perk up in smiles
and happy inventory.

Joy based on falsehood
is joy not at all
Hiding our identity only makes us fall
deeper into our lies.

A little truth may be o.k.
with careful editing.
A kind white lie can never hurt,
might make a sad heart sing.

Say it ain't so, old guy!
Here I thought all along
That someone as smart as you are
never could be known as wrong.

Never let anyone know
the real you deep inside.
make it up, walk away,
they'll never know you lied.

how hard is it,
to please everyone?
just lie anyway
that itself will be fun

Almost perfect

Let's have a perfect day
full of perfect fun.
And if it can't be what we want,
we'll lie to everyone.

I never lie, I'd rather cry,
and make you sorry that you stopped
to listen to a mean old guy
who's almost perfect -- but he's not.

Perfect

What he should or shouldn't be
is the only thing almost perfect can see
Old guys tears are honest,not morose,
absolutely perfect, not merely close!

Almost perfect

Telling enough of these sort of lies
will be my innermost demise
My secret will be so cleverly kept
Even I won't know how the real me wept

RE: Almost perfect

So the day wasn't perfect, so what?
Perfection is in the eye of the beholder.
What isn't perfect to you, might be perfect to others.
Did you have a good day? That's all that matters,
There's always another day to try again.

Fearful tongues lie
louder than truth,
knawing on deception

Perfect is in the eye of me
and I think as a writer, you're close,
a caring guy with a writer's eye,
who shouldn't be morose.

Once they called me, "the people pleaser",
I was somewhat wimpier then.
It probably fit a little bit
but it won't ever happen again.

A reflection of the perfection of my dearest friend-

The salty first bite of a peanut butter cup
Brings to mind your wit
The crinkly laugh of the orange and brown wrapper
Reminds me too, of it.

Mathematically, a circle is perfect.
Imperfect man created a tool to try to recreate it.
My love, You are perfect, or as close as can be.
Love is the compass, which is being held by me.
