imperfectly perfect

here i am, 

laying down my flaws

but are they really flaws?

to me, that is how i am

but not all of the time

 

i am perfectly imperfect

i may not have the best looks

but so what?

at the end of the day

my looks don't matter to anyone but me 

 

i may not have the perfect life

or lifestyle

but so what?

at the end of the day it does not matter to anyone but me

 

i do not have the perfect body, 

i am not skinny like those girls who walk the runways

i have stretch marks

which i am proud of them, 

and that is all that matters

 

i am not the smartest nor brightest person in the room

i do not have the perfect grades in school

but i try my best, 

whch is all that matters in the end

 

after all, 

have of the stuff i learn i will not need to know in the future

but it will have an impact on my life, 

what i do decide to do with my future

 

i probably go through more phases then the moon within just in a month 

but that is just it, 

i'm imperfectly perfect

i go through 3AM life crises where i overthink everything,

where i a think about my future and stress about what is to come

but y'know, 

i like to think at some point in other peoples lives 

they do too 

 

and that is okay, 

it is normal, 

it's okay to be imperfect

no one is perfect,

at the end of the day both you and i are human 

we bleed the same and breathe the same

 

we're all the same but different 

we have our own unique ways of life and living 

which that is what makes us perfectly imperfect 

 

i go through days where i feel as if i am not good enough 

then days where i feel as if i am 

and that makes me human, i know i have feelings

but it makes me, me 

 

my future is not going to be perfect, 

i do not even know i am or want to go to college 

i am stuck on what i wanna be when i grow up 

 

but that is it, 

it is okay 

it is okay to be like how you are, just be your normal self

at the end of the day when you go to sleep, you're just as much as human as anyone else

 

 

we are all imperfectly perfect  <3
