Poem
I'm nowhere near perfect My hair doesn't curl, isn't straight I live for my straightener, But for the heat, it makes me wait. I have a big mouth Lots of drama and enemies But I know how to have fun And I make tons of memories. I fall for guys easily And let them break my heart I get blinded by so-called "love" So much, it tears me apart. My friends and I don't always get along About stupid stuff, we fight I have good days, and, like everyone else, I have days where nothing goes right. I have memories of pain I wish I could forget I have said words, mean words, That I've grown to really regret. I'm vulnerable to believing lies I hope, someday, I won't need a fake smile I hope that, eventually, I'll be who I want to Even though it'll take a while. I make up excuses for everything A lot of times, like to class, I am late I do kind of risky and crazy stuff But the laughter sure is great. I'm nowhere near perfect Far from that "ideal" target But hey, that's life, you live and love And eventually, you learn from it. The good times count for everything And nothing counts for the bad We all have our ups and downs And our days that make us sad. We all have our reasons To love and to love not It's worse to have never loved Than to have loved and lost. Every kiss counts for something Even if it's the worst No one's perfect, really, they're not So you, for "perfection," do we thirst? Is there some unseen prize In the way we all are the same? 'Cause there's only one way for the world to be perfect But that's not something I want to gain. When we really take a step back From all the tabloids and magazines That push the whole "perfect" attitude A sigh of relief, can we breathe. When we walk away from all the rest of the world And forget about the ideal We can see how truly amaing our lives are And we can begin our own spiel. Doesn't that sound amazing, To take total control over our world? Well, why on't we try right now? Let's give "imperfection" a whirl! I'm not even close to being perfect I don't know why I wanted to be "Imperfect" is actually a pretty awesome title And I'm proud to say it describes me.
