I'm Not Perfect I'm not an angel, a model Or gorgeous and tall, I'm not extra smart, a comedian Or anything special at all. I'm not a fast runner Or good at sports, I don't get 100's on tests Or A's on reports. I don't wear Juicy & Mavi Or diamonds & pearls, I don't live in a mansion Or act like those other girls. I don't buy Armani & Gucci Or Prada & Kate Spade, I don't have fancy furniture Or a live-in maid. I'm not Miss Popular Or Queen of it all, I don't have a million dollars Or someone to catch me if I fall. I'm not saying that I'm special Or perfect in any way, I'm just asking for a chance Just one minute of your day. |

Hey I would have read your poem regardless of your (please read) in the title. I gave you my time and read the poem and I think it was nice. Be happy with who you are!!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

Hey hun...i agree with Dopey. You should be happy with yourself..and i've got the advantage of knowing who your talking about so this is what i have to say...If he's not going to like you for you then why want him to like you at all? I dont think he's the kind of guy who would want all of those fake things anyway...lol i mean look at how he dresses!! Definately got gucci...unless the sandals r...o well but i thought this was a great poem and i think a lot of poeple can relate to this. |

I think the way you say all of these things that you're not, really gets the point across. Good job expressing this  < !signature-->"Disagreements stimulate thought, thought stimulates action, and action stimulates life." --Me!! http://www.thehungersite.com [This message has been edited by Lakewalker (edited 11-09-2000).] |

that was really good!! I loved it, b/c no one's perfect and thats something we all need to realize. And no one should ever expect anyone to be perfect either. Well nice work, keep writing!!

I really felt this poem...there is no such thing as perfection. Even those people who "have it all" and seem perfect....well they're not. Everyone has room for improvement. There's so much pressure these days to be flawless, and sometimes it's hard trying to live up to all the expectations. Thanx so much for sharing this one! You're an awesome writer! ~Kris ~*Things you see the way you see them will never be seen again*~ ~All that I have found in reason is reason just to not believe.~ |

Kandi is right, perfection doesn't exist. The only way that you will even come close to perfection is being your own person. If someone wants to ignore you because of that, they are the ones that are missing out. Love yourself, you deserve it! False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the difference. |

I really like this one. One thing though, each person is special on their own way. Remember that. Everything you say yyu are not lean more to the materialistic side. Unfortunately, this world has made it sound like its such a great thing. As long as you are good from within, that's really all that matters.

Great poem. it's great to know that you don't think you are perfect, because noone is, no matter what guys think. i really liked this poem, it sounded just like me. Curly "So many tears i've cried, so much pain inside" -Lenny Kravitz |

If none of these replys touched you i hope this one will. I loved your poem, You expressed what MANY have thought about but just didnt have the words to say it. I love this poem and that makes me say this "I love you" those words i hope will mean something, You may think how you dont know me but from this poem i think i know enough. You can email me or whatever you want but pls just remeber what i said. "put the name of the person u love, not in a heart because they alway break but put it in a circle which last forever" |

Wow...this poem really hit home. I know how it feels to feels to feel that you have to change just to get someone to want you...I know that feeling all to well. But listen girl, if he can't see you for who you really "are" on the inside and out...then he's not worth it alright? Your a great writer and keep up the good work! niceguy |

Heh...I'm not perfect either, but i feel a lil more pressure to be perfect...Go to www.babynames.com and do a search for my name...I jsut found out a few months ago what it meant!! ~*~ Tamma Loves Justin ~*~ If you love someone dont put their name in a heart, put their name in a circle, because a heart can be broken but a circle is continious. |

Thank you so much for all your replies everyone...it really meant a lot to me. I know no one can be perfect, but sometimes I just keep trying to be when I know that I can't. And this was my way of finally admitting the fact that I'm not, and no one is, because perfection doesn't exist. Thanks again everyone!!! |

i really liked the rhythm and flow in this poem, it portrayed a very well thought out piece or work jeremy r "...if you've never met me, then you've no right to judge me. I have a good heart, but this heart can get ugly." ~DMX~ |

I can't get over this poem...it's great Dreamer. Seeing that you are not perfect...that no one is perfect can be hard but once you do it makes things easier. Hang in there girl. Thanx for the reply to my poem too. C-ya. niceguy "Don't take love for granted...once it's gone, it hurts." |

Great job...I know how hard ppl can be..this shows the sheer superficial aspect of ppl..as for not being perfect..you're part of the 100% population that falls into this group..you are NOT alone hehe  Again..keep it up, and well done.
