I Am Perfectly Imperfect

Whenever I thought about what I would like to be

Beautiful, important, and perfect were the words that came to me

"You can be anything you want!" "The world is your playground!"

"Then why can't I be perfect?" My goal was unsound

I would beat myself up for mistakes I made

"You have got to make the perfect grade"

Participating only when I could succeed, 

There was a lesson I needed to heed 

My conscious came to my rescue; I had an epiphany  

Being perfect is beyond my ability

You see, every mistake is a learning experience 

 What makes a person strong is their resilience 

Perfect? No, that isn't what I aim to be

Perfectly imperfect? Yep exactly!
