Imperfect

I am imperfect, In every bit of the word, Not capable of anything right, Trying so hard to be good, Or at least what the society terms as good, Forgetting who I am, Prostituting my integrity, Self worth, In order to get the approval of man. I have foolishly forgone true friendship, For the sake of mere recognition from them that I thought great. Blindly ignored wise counsel, To quench my foolish intelligence, Now as the fate of any villain, Or witch in a fairytale, I lay here miserable, Nowhere to go, Nothing to do, But to accept my deeds consequences. I wouldn't rather be a miserable perfect figure, Than a happy unworthy being. I want to be imperfect, Learn from my mistakes, Be better...but real.

Imperfection is beauty. Another good poem and connection to everyday life and to how other women might feel as well.
