You never know how it is to cry
And you always know what to expect
And your far too good to ever wonder why
You never make mistakes
So you never learn
When watching a horror movie you never get the shakes
And you never playw ith fire so you never get burned
You never know how it good it feels to win
Because you've never lost
That sensational feeling you feel within
Well, that feeling will never be crossed
You can never be in love
Because loving someone perfect is like fighting a losing battle
Harder than you could even dream of
For you to even want love would just be foolish prattle
In every situation you'd always be right
So who would want to speak
When you never have to feel contrite
So I guess in away let me be bleek
If you are perfect you'd be considered a freak
Just a little snobbish...not unique
So please explain your technique
What in this world do you seek
You have not one flaw from what I can detect
And when your asked a question you are always correct
I asked you about your most embarassing moment and the memory just did not connect
Let me be direct
You can't expirience life until you can laugh at your mistakes and reflect
So I guess in a sence whats the point of being perfect

Honestly, this is rather generic. For some reason I expected a lot more from someone with the username "skillzwayaboveyours." My mistake.

Fortunately, very few ( none) will ever find out what it's like to be perfect, since no one is.

I liked the sarcasm in this.
Well done
