I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect

I make mistakes

I make choices

I'm not perfect

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 taunt

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
