Imperfect Me

Hey Guys! Today I wanted to share a poem with you guys that I read at school. It is called
Imperfect Me.  I hope you enjoy!

Imperfect Me

by Brod Bagert 

I used to try to be perfect:  

Perfect height, perfect weight, 

A perfect friend, the perfect date. 

Perfect makeup on my face 

 Every hair in perfect place. 

The perfect mask for all to see, 

I tried to be a perfect me. 

But I couldn’t do it:

I’m short and just a little plump, 

My nose has got a tiny bump,

My teeth? Too big. My ears? Too long. The me I see is always wrong.

I felt such animosity,

My life was an atrocity.

 But then I wised up: Perfect looks? A total scam!

Perfection lies in who I am. T

his girl has got one life to live 

And who I am is what I give,

And if I give with all my might 

The me I give will be just right.

And suddenly my heart broke free So here I am

—Imperfect Me. 

So what do you guys think? Do you like the poem? When I read this at school I really wanted to share with you guys beacuse it made me think differently about myself. Does this poem change you emotionally?
