Intro

Sometimes I wish I was the perfect girl A girl who still got dressed for Sunday service A girl whose faith hadn't been drained from her by the horrors she witnessed I wish I was as graceful with floral scented breath and perfect pink lips But I know my burnt, plush lips have tints of my reality And when I whisper in your ear My breath speaks volumes of long authentic nights Filled with utter joy in the midst of escape Sometimes I wish I was the perfect girl Polite and gentle in embodiment But I know my character cuts as deep as the sharpest blade And that there is nothing gentle about the flames that you see in my eyes I wish I was as honest with myself as I am with others That I wasn't so fearful of rejection That I wasn't so extreme with every emotion That I didn't feel so deeply But I know I'm passionate as f*ck And that it oozes into every part of who I am Sun in Leo God I'm a weirdo A woman of fire A woman of power She is the sun She is brave Her heart is gold And she's got maybe just a bit too much love to give You're a star Growing up that was my bed time story My grandma never failed to manifest that shit I guess my light has always been brighter So bright I'd try dim it because I guess I'm a little modest Sometimes I wish I was the perfect girl But, I'm not And I never will be I'm so imperfect and I'm so in love with it We really don't need to always have everything figured out And that's the beauty of this journey I will always be the perfect imbalance
