Gone So Wrong

I had the image in my head,

Perfection at its very best

Believing I could make a real

Was on that day put to the test

Reality, it ticks me off

That's not how I wanted it to be!

Why is making what I want

So bloody impossible to me?

I expected all to come together

Cos I have waited ohhhhh so long

Why must all the images in my head

Come to life, but go so wrong?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I guess this piece could apply to most things in life, from baking a cake to building a new life. So take this piece and make of it what you will.

I like how you said about wanting perfection, but receiving reality. Nothing is life is truly perfect or at least not in our perspectives. Great write.
