This is my face
Some of it has been misplaced
With open pores, and spots here and there
But I’m not perfect,

This is my body
Some of it has a mind of its own,
It jiggles, and wiggles
Hey, but I’m not perfect.

This is my life,
It’s always off track,
Never getting anything worth while
But hey, it’s like this

I’m not perfect,
But perfection isn’t happiness,
It’s looking past the imperfections
And if that’s true, I’m the happiest person on this earth

The author's comments:
I'm not perfect, and that's what my life is centered around. Imperfection. I include something about imperfections in almost all my pieces.
