Far From Perfect...

No one is going to get this because its a true story kinda thing, and you have to know the whole scenario to get each word of it...

Far From Perfect

No one knows how one can feel,
No one knows how one can deal,
I tried to know, I tried to take,
To stop all the hearts to break,
But I didn\'t know the way to feel,
I didn\'t know the way to deal,
I did my best, but it didn\'t do,
And somehow still, I did it too,
But I wish I chose a different way,
Because now I judged in painful play,
Made a thought, that I came to say,
And I wish I chose a different way,
For I didn\'t give a descent chance,
Just struck you down with single glance.

I should have asked you for your aid,
Before sticking you with such a grade,
I meant it then in all my stress,
But fear made me someone less,
Not wise and kind, but dumb and blind,
Wishing I never said that single line,
But did you hear the other words?
Which meet all my true accord?
Compliments I cannot say,
Just to maintain your wanted way,

In the end I hurt to see,
That these words must stay to be,
I\'ve always tried to be a healer,
Never wanted to be the dealer,
To make someone hurt I hate it so,
I should but I can\'t just let it go,
And in the end you need to know,
That perfect I shall never be,
And hopefully now you shall see,
That I\'m no hero, I\'m just this,
A seeker of forgiveness.

    Ah, and even though I couldn't fully understand the situation I saw it as a very well written and powerful poem. Besides, the words: "I'm no hero, I'm just this, A seeker of forgiveness." really bring it to perfection. I loved the ending. Keep up your good work!
