here is my perfect li'l life
turning around in the stars
watch as this dream
t r a n s f o r m s
into our worst
n i g h t m a r e

but this is still
my perfect li'l life

everything is
i n f i n i t e
in the violet of space
stretching beyond our
c o m p r e h e n s i o n

but this is still
my perfect li'l life

the answers are oblivious
masters of their own fate
truth is impartial and
i n d i f f e r e n t
objectively watching all this
o b l i v i o n

but this is still my
p e r f e c t
little life

clinging to something
for anything to
b e l i e v e i n
with a feral need
that we'll never understand
'cuz we need something
to have our faith in

but this is still my
perfect f*****g life
and this is all i have
to hold on to
and put all my heart in

but this is still
my perfect li'l life

but this is
s t i l l
my perfect li'l life

I like this piece...I'm not usually a huge fan of repetition but it somehow works in this piece, along with the form.
this is well done! I look forward to reading more of your work!
