Imperfect
I don't want to be the burden you look after every second,
I don't want to be the one you consider a screw up,
I don't wanna be incapable of anything;
But what I want to be is able to do anything.
Please don't stare at me like that,
I know I've done wrong,
I know I'm not normal,
I'm just different.
I'm imperfect.
I don't want to be the girl that'll always feel the silence,
I fear the quiet because it screams the truth.
Don't judge me,
Save your breath,
I don't care anymore.
I'm through pleasing anyone who don't accept me anymore.
I no longer feel the need to be understood because no one would.
Take me as I am,
Take my entire package for what it is, heavy and filled with the untold thoughts, confessions, conditions along with everyone's stupid consultations.
I don't want to be the girl who's not considered beautiful,
with looks that are so plain and horrid look more like the devil's creation than an image of God.
Please just let me hide I know I'm not cover girl material.
I wish for brightness through darkness,
I ache to be better,
I want to be so much more.
Don't compare me to them,
Don't make me out as anything that I'm not.
You can't mold me into who I want to be and who I want to be is me.
I'm sorry,
So sorry I'm imperfect...but I prefer it.

We are all imperfect, it is actually wonderful thing. Perfection is a boring status. Great piece, MsRocky.

My eyes were watering.
You have many poems that can make people feel. I really liked it from the beginning, so I try it to.
I'm not used to poetry so direct and punching.
I usually go around the world to express the feelings.
So in my poems, every now and then, I try to put in a line or two that can make someone cry or smile while they read along.
When I first started poetry when I was younger, it was so combobulated, riddled, grandiose. They were never down to earth.
You've helped me a lot trying to find my place poetically between sky and earth. Because in the end, you get things across. I feel the desperation. I have the emotional experience. I break down. I build up. Whatever your poem says when you really pour your heart into it.
I admire that technique greatly, and I'm glad you assisted in teaching it to me. I started my poetry talking to my readers through reinforced glass. I got to feel the things I feel in your poems and I envied it until I could learn and break the glass and really touch my reader.
Good poem Rocky 💞
