I am not a perfectionist
But I’m a survival of old pain
With wings stuck in the mud
And ocean dreams of summer
Sunflowers
And fog
Who cries for the time that will never be
With my feet on the ground
And my head in the clouds
I’m someone with love
And saw Satan laughing with delight
I am not a perfectionist
But I still enjoy the best things in life
