Perfection

by jamieschicho

(poems go here) I'm not perfect But what can I do? I don't know everything And I really can't sing I have a scar near my eye I have things that I fake I compulsively lie And I dwell on mistakes I fall to easily And I rarely let go I trust without thought Or actions to show I never remember my past I always forgive and forget I lie to myself so it can last I forget so I don't regret I'd love to be shorter I wish I was skinnier I want to be smarter And a little bit sweeter I may not be perfect But what can I do? I'm definitely not perfect But neither are you...
