Perfect Isn't Real

by Jaime   Jan 16, 2006


If I could have a clone
I would upgrade her DNA
So in an awkward situation
She'd know just what to say

She wouldn't keep her guard up
She would let everyone in
She'd be proud of how she ran the race
Even if she didn't win

She wouldn't cry herself to sleep
Or wish she was never born
She'd be blessed with thread and needle
To mend her heart when it is torn

She'd tell people when she loved them
She wouldn't know how to hate
She'd cheer up a gloomy room
Yes, my clone sure would be great

She'd say exactly what she means
But careful of how others feel
My upgraded clone would be perfect
That's why she'll never be real

    Wow...I can't believe no one has commented on this! This is amazing! I feeling I think many can relate to. It saddens me a bit to read this as I know it's REAL for so many. I surely hope you don't feel this way as that would be such a shame. You described this feeling perfectly...the poem flowed so well...awesome write!! :)
