I am everywhere

I wish I could be perfect...
like you.
I wish I could conceal my pain...
like you.
I wish I could be...
like you.
If I were...
like you...
I could know your plan.
I could know
what to expect
from you,
what to throw back
at you.
I could know your weakness.

But knowing you-
being so perfectly flawless,
You're existence too incredibly good to be true.
You don't have a weakness-
knowing you.

(omg.. it's amazing how much people suck. )

Aw honey I know it doesn't seem like it now, but whomever this is about, isn't perfect.  You just may not be able to see his or her flaws right now. I promise you though, this person is not perfect. *hugs*  Beautifully written.

This was so good and sad Sara. I know a lot of perfect people..I think. LOL Well there is a difference..there are people who think they are perfect and there are those that are happy with who they are which makes them perfect in their own way. Hope things look up.

Great poem! I really liked it, no more sadness ok? Let me point out how imperfect whoever this is about is, They probably think they're perfect right? Or they act like they are, that makes them arrogant, foolish, and pompous air bags! Which makes them NOT perfect.

I truly liked this piece... it had this certain.... feel to it, that I can't describe. Just a taste. I wish I could explain myself better...

anyhow, it is a great poem. My only though is that it would flow a helluva lot better if the '...'s were taken out. The pauses seem natural without the extentions; otherwise, forced, which takes away from the great work that it is.

Just a thought.  

The ending...

"You don't have a weakness-
knowing you."

seems a bit confusing. It seems to be talking about him, then switching over to you, without warning.

Maybe something like:

"You don't have a weakness-
my downfall."

Or were you going for the completion ending (not sure what it's really called), where you sum up the poem in a few words, such as, "knowing you"? Maybe then, delete the '-' and just put a period there.

Hope I didn't ramble too much.
