Imperfectly perfect that’s what I am
I don’t have life figured out
I just live one day to the next
I tried being perfect
It proved more difficult
Than rocket science
And even then
Not everyone liked me
I figured finally
You cannot be loved by all
So be yourself
It saves so much more
Let those who choose not to
Like and accept you
Walk away in peace
Pursue them not
For there are they who
Love you as you are
And you may lose them
When they come looking for you
Only to find you missing
Busy chasing those who don’t
You are precious and unique
With your flaws and weaknesses
You are imperfectly perfect.
