Imperfection

Why can't I be like everyone else?

To be perfect like the others,

A set of respectable qualities,

some talents; to dance to sing

to be a good friend to all I meet.

I feel different to everyone else,

Out of place in this world full of

perfect people highlighting my

imperfections at every second

glance as the glare in disgust.

Anger burns up inside me bubbling

up through my thoughts and echoing 

through my mind as I try to see where

I am going wrong. Why am I different?

What did I do wrong in my life?

Some may say I was born this way,

Others say to be yourself or just quit

trying. But I can't change, even if I

tried. I'll still be imperfect to the 

imperfectionist who's me.
