IMPERFECT.

I'm imperfect
Not pretty, or elegant
Or funny, or smart
I am just imperfect

I am a misfit
The odd one, trying hard to slip in,
Squeeze in, mix in, make way,
Forgetting, every time, that I am just imperfect

I am a face with pimples,
Not the one with dimples,
I m not shallow, and I know
Beauty isn't just skin deep,
But sometimes it is,
& I know it better,
But still, I am imperfect

I am second on the list,
The forgotten stanza of a famous poem,
The background score in a musical,
The candle in a well lit hall,
A thin voice in the chorus,
I'm also unimportant, and so, just imperfect

I'm not the hero of my own story,
My realm has weak characters,
Vulnerable, fragile & of course,
Imperfect just like me

Imperfection has been my reality,
Is it also my identity,
I'm not so sure, but it's fun
That's why I adore,
This imperfection

My poems don't rhyme,
Sweet bells don't chime,
I may fall, I may fail,
I'll fail Better this time.
