ImPerfect
I don’t want to be perfect
For everyone else
I want to look perfect
Just for myself
I have to do this
And I have to do that
I have to act proper
And not be a brat
Don’t say my opinion
Don’t share what I think
Don’t spout useless facts
And don’t be a dink
Tell the truth when it’s nice
And lie when it’s not
Try not to frown
And smile a lot
Love what we tell you
Like nothing else
And that little attitude?
Keep to yourself
Well I’ve decided to break
From the common mold
I’ve decided to be
Unique and bold!
I will now be myself
Starting now to forever
Following suit?
Not now and not ever
So tell me again
How perfect to be?
Cuz now I’m perfect
Perfect to me
