You know the feeling,
That you have to be perfect.
Perfect Hair,
Perfect Body,
Perfect friends,
Perfect life,
Perfect everything.

I have none of these things.
My hair never stays in place.
I have a lot of curves,
My friends are not perfect.
My life is a mess.
But I like to consider people like me as,
Perfectly Imperfect.
