Imperfect

By Rithu Prabhu

Looking in the mirror

I see myself as a shame

So much pain, too much crying

I can’t hold myself

I fear that one day I might give up

The pain I feel is unbearable

I try to cheer myself up

That someone will be there

But how long can I lie to myself…

Those days were gone

When I thought I was perfect

Now all I feel is hatred

When I look at myself

I want to change

Change everything

And I will try to change myself

I say to everyone

They’re perfect as they are

But who will tell me

I’m perfect too
