Never Perfect

I see on the television families with perfect lives,
Perfect jobs, perfect kids, and never a worry.
I like to watch these television families;
they help me to escape from reality.
The reality I face is way too tough so I watch these families,
And then the reality is not so rough.
With these families on the television I feel as though,
Nothing could go wrong; everything there is always perfect.

The television families are a great escape-until they are over with.
Then comes the reality that I must face.
No perfect jobs, no perfect kids,
and every possible worry there is to have.
Nothing is ever perfect, everything is never perfect.
I thought that if we changed things would get better,
But they only became worse.
They were bad before the change; they were decent for awhile;
But then the day came and all hell was loosed.

I look at the false reality on the television,
then I look at the actual reality.
I realize that there is no way I could ever have one of those perfect lives.
