"The Purest of Truths"

It's every little girl's dream to be swept off her feet
by her knight in shining armor brandishing his sword
charismatically fighting his way to her heart
his princely demeaner, perfection's shining light

But no one is perfect, it's human nature to flounder
and sink in the water, vunerible to defeat
but as long as you rebel and struggle against the flow
perfection's ideal is too plastic to concieve

Don't get me wrong, the laudened hero's virtues aren't bleak
but it's impossible to be society's consimate pet
personalities do clash and tempers do flare
so this generic facade will soon wither away

No more will this hypothetical dream manipulate your mind
Instead you'll decide your fate with a love so unique
you see everyone is different, their hearts aren't alike
so search for that grail and ignore the devil's beck and call

Because than you can find your ideal love
with his charectoristic quirks and an individual flare
to light up your eyes and rev up your soul
breathing life with each kiss into the shrouded black holes

In turn becoming a little slice of perfection's pie
maintaining the qualities so pure and true
channeling a little bit of that cliched knight
passionately expressing  perfection's individuality
