I was told I was perfect, but I disagree
In fact, I think I’m imperfect
But people think the meaning of perfect, is complete
You see, I don’t want to be seen as complete
What I am is a complete mess
A complete mess that is so messy, it makes me complete
But nothing is perfect, and it shouldn’t be
Changing to be beautiful, means you change to be perfect
And that changes who you truly are
Be who you are, no one needs perfection
People will disagree about wanting to be perfect
No, I am not perfect, and I wish not to be
