THE IMAGE OF IMPERFECTION

I’m not perfect
I make mistakes
I’m sometimes fragile
Sometimes all might
Sometimes I speak without thinking

I’m not perfect
I’m set in my thinking
Sometimes quick to judgement
I’m not perfect
Not half…

I’m not perfect
I make mistakes
But even I deserve a second chance
A chance at redemption
For an explanation
A conversation
To clear the air
Both of us fair

I’m not perfect
I make mistakes
I speak without thinking
I wish I could make you understand
My side
A fair decision
Not this one-sided misunderstanding
A clear decision
Not this hastily written derision

I’m not perfect
I make mistakes
I deserve to be heard
Deserved to be respected
Deserve to be counted

I’m not perfect
I make mistakes
I deserve one as strong as me
As frail as me
Who’ll fail as me
Who won’t give up on me
At short notice
With no notice

When times are hard
or when I make mistakes!
‘Cos I’m not perfect!
I make mistakes
Speak without thinking…

I echoed your words, your phrases
Your mood, your manner
Your sentiments, your affections
I echoed you, took your lead
So where did I exceed?

You’re not perfect
You make mistakes
You spoke ‘cos you thought it
You spoke without thinking

When all’s done and said
You gave up on me, too quickly
Without thinking, without talking
You gave up ‘cos you thought it
You acted, without facts… on fiction
On one regretted outburst
One misunderstanding

You see…
I’m not perfect… I’ll always make mistakes.

END.
