I'm not perfect
Nor will I ever be
People may think I am
But I know I am not

I'm not perfect
I will never
Claim to be
Even if loved ones say I am

I'm not perfect
I make mistakes too
I'm not perfect
And never shall I ever be

I'm not perfect
Nobody is ever perfect
So is my observation

I'm not perfect

Cold hands means a warm heart

Neither am I, Julie. When other people think we are it just
puts more pressure on us. we then try to live up
to their expectations. It's hard, too. Sometimes
I think they may be doing "reverse psychology" on us.
What do you think?

It's hard to live in the spotlight all the time where people not only think you are perfect but EXPECT you to be perfect. And then when you mess up, what happens?

Good write, you've expressed yourself well.

To much to live up to!

You are perfect for me.

What is life without poetry and adventure?

I was once called a "perfect little angel" in the second grade. Now most people just call me crazy. Though I was told once I was by a parent I was "too good."
But None of us are perfect, only One Man on this earth ever lived perfection, and He took the imperfections of all humanity on His bloodstained back.
You expressed yourself well here
