My perfect world is one where I am ruler. Loved, accepted. My perfect language is one that doesn't make sense, but does. My perfect home is one where I am safe. Secure and happy. My perfect pet is one that doesn't frustrate me, but obeys. My perfect vehicle is one that gets me quickly, where I need to be. My perfect wife is one with beauty, outside and in. My perfect hobby is one that is relaxing, peaceful. My perfect future is one with guaranteed success. My perfect past is one where bad things are forgotten, good things remembered. My perfect life is one, inside my perfect world.

I like the last two lines. It's a very idealistic poem.
None of us can ever be free while others are still in chains. -Leslie Feinberg

I have two criticisms: 1. It's a little too repetitive. With all the "My perfect.."'s and "... is one..."'s. I would personally keep the "my perfect"'s and cut out the "is one"'s. Make the verses less passive (e.g. Instead of "My perfect pet is one that doesn't frustrate me..." say "My perfect pet doesn't frustrate me..." and so on). 2. Some of the words are rather vague and overused. Safe, happy, quickly, beauty, peaceful, bad, good, etc. Less common and more specific words would give your writing more flair. The choice of "frustrated" in the fourth verse, for example, was good, because frustrated is a more specific word for being angry. So I would suggest that you find similar words to substitute for the vague "happy", "bad", "good", etc. Take my advice with a grain of salt, however. I am not a writer of poetry. I speak to you only as a reader, telling you what I would like to read.

 That was really good.
I have not yet reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So I keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize. My friends, I don't feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for wha
