Perfect

Where's my award from the academy,
For the scene that just played out?
It flowed so well. Perfect characterization,
All good up to this point.
Yours is the type who cries and cries
While mine lights up another joint.

And the director of the scene says,
Perfect. You're perfect for this role.
The perfect chemistry of sex, desire and misery,
I couldn't see the real you at all.

Where's my rousing standing ovation,
For the man I claimed to be?
Long dramatic pause. Fantastic expression,
All so good up to here.
In this scene it says you keep on trying
While I get consumed by the fear.

And the director of the scene says,
Perfect. You're perfect for this role.
The perfect chemistry of sex, desire and misery,
I couldn't see the real you at all.
