No One's Perfect

Hi guys!! Don't forget to read the author's note after this poem. It's kinda mandatory.

***

If being imperfect
Is a crime,
Then no one in this world
Is worth a dime.

There is a flaw,
A regret, a fight and a claw,
In each and every mundane,
Caused by the lack to be humane.

The harsh stereotypes
Destroys our positive vibes,
Classifying us into various types
Which kills us on the insides.

Hurtful words spoken to one's face,
Has the power to change a whole race,
And all the teasing and jeering
Have their own way of re-appearing.

No one's perfect;
That's an obvious fact.
So, love the people for who they are
And not for who you want them to be.

This is a poem that I was inspired to write when I heard some guys in my school teasing others based on their physical appearance. It's almost as bad as bullying. Sometimes it IS classified as bullying. People create various types to which particular students belong. It's kind of a common problem in almost all schools.

Like for example, jocks are expected to be hot, cocky and a Playboy and the "Nerds" are supposed to be the so-called fun-suckers and they are mostly the victims of many heartless pranks.

This has to stop. Eventhough a single student like me, who doesn't even know what being bullied feels like,  cannot stop the whole thing, we could atleast try to tell our own friends circle to be against bullying and teasing (some people use "friendly teasing" as an excuse... Don't fall for that trap!!)...

This is not only happening between the populars and unpopulars. This happens even between the best of friends. This kind of character where one person doesn't like the other one for who he/she really is also paves the way for insecurities in that person who is supposedly not good.

So, before choosing your besties and declaring that you would stay with them forever, please do consider whether you like that person for who he/she really is. Don't try to change anyone to suit your liking.

And, no one deserves to be teased for their physical appearance. It's not their fault that they happened to have the kind of features they have. Each and everyone in this whole, wide world is beautiful in their own way. They just need the right people who will see them and like them for who they truly are (it could be anyone, friends, parents, soulmates, etc.,). If you fail to notice their special beauty, then don't bother yourself and them with getting to know them just to leave them later on. It hurts a lot for the person who gets dumped by you.

I guess that's all I have to say guys!!
