Perfectly Imperfect

Perfectly Imperfect

 

Just because I’m quiet doesn't mean
I have nothing to say.
I judge people too easily
by my first impression.
I’d rather wait forever for the
perfect guy, than settle for any
ole' person.

 

I’m unpredictable and spontaneous.
I try to be forgiving.
I enjoy being unique.
I’m ambitious and determined,
but I can get lazy and unmotivated at times.
I’m a sucker for compliments.
I’d rather look immature and have fun
than to care for what other people think.

 

Sometimes I’m really confident
and other times I feel really insecure.
I’m creative and imaginative,
I’m curious about everything.
Friends mean everything to me,
but sometimes I just want to be alone.

 

I envy people who can fit in
easily without even trying.

 I try to be sympathetic and supportive,
even if sometimes I fake it
to make you feel good.

 

I’m opinionated and stubborn
but I’m loyal, sincere, and caring.
You can trust me with you secrets
unless it's something that
I know will hurt you.
I always try to see the best in you,
even if you annoy me.

 

I hate it when people make me
feel guilty to set their way.
I’ll always be here to listen to your problems.
I’ll stick up for you no matter what happens,
and believe it or not,
that's just me.
Perfectly imperfect.

I can really relate to this poem, as i believe many people can. In it you have expressed the hypocrisies and inconsistencies of life amazingly well. Good job!

[Smart Zombie]

good job to you for opening up in thoughts. i would sugest a different line up. but im not one to judge heh!
over all lovely!

You so beautifully share the complexity of being alive.. quiet times and excited times... thoughts flowing into feelings and back again... Love the message of your wonderful words!

[Silere]

I will not advise or comment on anything technical as I am very new at writing... especially poetry. But I love the meaning of this very much. There is so much to relate one's self to in your poem. It's great when you can read something and be able to say to yourself.. "Hey, that's me..I'm like that" and I found myself thinking that a few times. Very good job. Keep it up!!

Hey there, young padawan. :D This will be my first review on you. I'd like you to note that I asses both the content and technicals. I also like to give out my own opinions and suggestions, if it matters.

So here goes:
Opinion: Once in a while, we "mock" oursleves. But only through mocking our flaws makes us flaunt our goodness. This is perfectly human, I must say.

Content: This is author-centered, much like a biography. I truly appreciate the honesty and the spontaineity of your train of thoughts. For others, it takes a lot to say those things. I commend you for exercising your freedom and not letting limitations of meter, rhyme, or rhythm get to you.

Technicals: But I must say, if you are aiming to be a poet...you must learn to embrace the structure of a poem. Yes, it might take some time and practice but I tell you, it'll be worth it. :) The form of this is quite distracting, to say the least. It's like a roller coaster. 1st stanzas takes you high up because of your use of old English but it falls on the second one because your randomness caught up with you. The pattern goes on till the end of the poem. I found that entertaining but distracting.

Overall: You have done a great job on penning your thoughts. Through time, you'll become a great writer. I believe in you. :D

Keep writing!

I agree with what you are trying to say in this poem. There are times that I feel like I am perfectly imperfect:)

[Fallacy Pharmacy]

I adore this poem-I can really relate to this. Very nicely written, what more can I say-this is brilliant!

[blackrose24]

i read this again and again, and believe it or not, i can't get tired of it. such a great poem, and the last part was truly remarkable. :)

A self-written portrait.. with so many great things about yourself.. including the flaws. I sense a real deep sense of confidence in you knowing who you are.. and to get that down in written detail is a great embrace to yourself to reflect upon in those down moments.. Loved the message.. it flows so freely with honesty.. very nicely done!
