Ideally


Ideally no one would be ashamed

Worry when admiting you like softness on your partners

Worry when your partner says they want visible muscles

Ideally everyone would have their own ideal

We see ideally all the time

It makes us forget that there is no ideal realistically

Only idyllic moments

Because of the ideal we see in society, our own ideals get buried in shame

Ideally we would each form our own idea of ideal

Before we saw the idyllic ideals of our cultural worlds

Ideally no one would be ashamed to share their ideals

And no one would feel ashamed when they can't achieve the ideal

Realistically, ideals are hardly ever achieved

Idyllic moments are the closest we can get

And those can only be achieved without shame
