Imperfections

I am an imperfect person.
I will never be a perfect person.
So love me as I am, or let me walk away.

I overthink everything,
I analyze everything,
I cry over stupid things,
I let people walk all over me,
I get defensive,
I don’t trust easily.

I am like this because 
I have been hurt,
By so many people 
Around me.
People I once trusted.

Once I get close to people,
I am so scared I am going
To lose them.
Like I have lost so many others.

This world is full of imperfections, 
I am one of those imperfections.
So love me as I am, or let me walk away.

Faraz Ajmal May 18, 2018 at 1:36 PM Ahh it s a really beautiful and heart touching poem, you see that nobody in this life is perfect and everyone have imperfections, the right person will love you with all your imperfections and about the emotions, I reallylike psychology so if your emotions are true, these emotions is of someone who has been hurt ( as you stated) and fear that other will also hurt you, so not a really social person, someone who s not good with new faces, good luck
