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.

Loved the rhyme and the short yet powerful meaning. No matter what you write about, I still am a big fan of all of your works. Keep at it.

"but I'll only be me,"

Simple and straight to the point. well said.

[Chelsea.]

I think it's well constructed. It's short, yet powerful in meaning. Also, i like how it rhymes. Good job.

I really like your "I can pray all I want but I'll still be unholy." It has a nice ring to it.

I really like this. I love the emotion you bled into it. For few words, you summed up a lot. No one is perfect, but God didn't make mistakes when creating us. He made us all special in our own way, and I'm sure you're a wonderful person. :)
