Not Perfect

I know I'm not perfect

I wish I could be,

I can try all I want

but I'll only be me,

it will still be my hair

and those eyes that I hate

eyes of such hurt

that should die by their fate,

every scar, every story 

my life and it's glory,

I can pray all I want 

but I'll still be unholy,

so here is my tale

let it sing till its heard,

may you all take a word

from the lessons I've learned.

agony,pain,anguish...this feeling that you would never be enough...no matter where you're ..what you've done..its just all fated..and there isn't much you can do about this- I knw this feeling and you've reflected it well through your words.But let there be light and hope..:) All we can is try...!

Self doubt, only holds us back until we see that it’s us that cares not the others that stare

In the hour of harrowing, we find epiphanies and Ah! moments, but in the end, we are still us, and we are all still mere humans. And in the end, I am speechless because your words ring a sound melody that's firm and true. Well done.

Beautiful. I'm nearly speechless, this is amazing.

True, true. We all feel this way, every day of our lives. Even though I'm very comfortable with myself, I still feel self-conscious at times. I have to remind myself that I am perfect the way I am.

I like the words in this poem. Is the song of most of us. Hard to live a life without hurting or mis-judging a situation. Some lessons are for us to bare alone. For even for us to rebirth it is a bad time and memory. I like the wisdom of the outstanding poem.
