What a nightmare!

When my mind began to wander

I just followed it as close as I could

seemed as though I was now placing second

with the phantom in my head taking first

I  dreamed that I was happy 

in a strange but wondrous place

flaws were admired and envied

even as perfection gave way to equality and common sense

when i woke up I covered up my imperfections

grabbed my cellphone crutch

and got onto my bologne pony for another trip to tinsel town

I was myself once again

what a nightmare!
