Catharsis

I notice you in the corners of my movement
You think you are so stealthy
Steeling little glances of my life
Infiltrating my content

You think you go unnoticed
Slowly stealing the me from me
Gathering it up in your black sack of failures
As if i wouldn't see the gaps you left behind

I almost caught you once, I had planned
In all the moments I had dreamed
About that day
To beat you to a pulp

But I made the mistake, I make so many mistakes
Of listenting to your familiar slander
And my ears were lost
To impossible standards

I still see your footprints everywhere
Even with no tracks
So pronounced
They don'te even need snow to crunch

I see you gather up my pride
Like jewels
Atleast it makes you happy
Atleast someone is happy

Perfection, you are my immortal stalker
I try to see you in my thoughts
To recognize those moments when you skip out my ears
And Land in my life

But mostly, I can only see
What you want me to
The imperfection of my world
Against yours
