Imperfect I

I had to crawl to learn to walk
Same way
I had to fall so as to stand
Getting involved in mistakes
Learning never to miss taking heed
Born in sin
Beyond what is seen
I never meant to hurt anyone
Because I cleansed my heart for everyone
My actions do not define me
Just a manifestation of thoughts in the inner 
me
I may be right
Sounds alright
I may be wrong
But I am getting strong
In whatever you think is good
Remember people have already stood
Where you are
In what you go through
Be not quick to judge
Let sleek ideas merge
To love all does not cost
If it does, all is lost
Let us strive
To revive
For us to 
survive!
