  • I'm Not Perfect


    I'm not pefect

    I make mistakes

    I make choices

    I'm not pefect

    There is nothing

    You can say or do

    That will change that

     

    Because I live for myself

    Not for you

    You have no right

    Telling me how I should live

    You have no right

    Telling me you know better than I

     

    You do not walk my path

    You do not know my story

    You may not think that I am perfect

    Fine by me

     

    I am the one who lives this life

    Not you

    I have made mistakes

    I am better for those mistakes

    For I have learned from them

     

    I'm not perfect

    My life does not fit into the box

    You call perfection

    My life may not mean much to the world around me

    The world can not control me

    I do not live to please the world

    I live to please myself

     

    I'm not perfect

    Stop trying to put me in a little ball

    This world calls perfection

    It's never going to happen

     

    I am not perfect

    Accept that fact

    Like me

    or

    Hate me

    I will not change

     

    Until I die and go to Heaven

    Perfection is out of reach

    For this man

    I strive

    yet

    I fall short

     

    I'm not perfect

    No matter how hard you try

    You will not change that

     

    I'm not perfect

    I know that

    I don't need you

    Pointing it out

    You laugh

    You tunt

    You have your fun

    At my expense

    You don't bother me

    I know who I am

    My friends like me

    For who I am

    So you don't like me

    I am not changing

     

    I'm not perfect

    Don't try to put me in a box

    To fill your idea of perfection

    I will break the walls of that box

    I will prove that

    Though I am not perfect

    I like me the way I am

     

    I am not perfect

    I do not fit the idea of perfection

    This world has

    I don't care

    I may not be perfect

    And in a way

    I'm perfect like that

     

    I'm not perfect

    Accept me

    Flaws and all

    Accept me
