That perfect Person.

by Amber   Mar 30, 2008


I wish I could be
that perfect person
that everyone thinks
I am.

That perfect person
who is always happy
and never sad, and has
never let a tear escape
her eyes.

That perfect person
who always wore a
smile on her face, and
never once wore a frown.

That perfect person
who is perfect and
has never once made
a mistake in her life.

That perfect person
who is whole on the
inside instead of
broken like glass.

That perfect person
everyone loves and
noone hates.

Ah but alas I am
not that perfect
person.

In reality I am
the person who
is sad and whose
eyes have let enough
tears escape to make
it's own lake.

I am the person who
wears a frown daily
but tries to hide it
with a fake smile.

I am the person who
has made so many
mistakes in her life.

I am the person who
is broken on the inside
like glass.

I am the person who
is hated by many and
loved by few.

Now do I still sound
perfect? Or does
admitting my imperfections
make me perfect?

    I loved this poem perfection is a falsehood or so I believe I doubt perfection exist and if it does we probably would not know it if we saw it.

    =( this is another sad poem. Aw, amber hunny...if you feel like your not perfect i hope you know you are in my eyes. Everyone is perfect in their own special way. I mean, we can't be perfect perfect cause thats just not in our nature. Hunny, everyone makes mistakes, i know i do. I am by far perfect, I'm not even close. But hun, things get better so cheer up. Ok? I'm here for you if you ever need to talk. Remember, I'm always all ears.
